NY State Summer Writers Institute

Well, I didn't win a scholarship to attend the NY State Summer Writers Institute.

I'm disappointed, but I am still thrilled that Dr. Gylys nominated me--- knowing that my mentor believes in me enough to "put me in the fight" is encouraging and means the world to me.

There will be other contest....

NY State Summer Writers Institute

Please, send positive vibes and energy my way!

Dr. Beth Gylys nominated me for a NY State Summer Writers Institute Scholarship. I submitted my application yesterday, and I will find out on March 20, 2008 if I will receive a scholarship. Even if I don't win a scholarship, I won't be too disappointed because I am honored that I was nominated. It means the world to me that I was thought when Dr. G was asked to nominate a student.

Since 2005 to 2007, 58 students received the full scholarships from colleges such as URochester, Temple U, Brown U, Cleveland State, Connecticut College, Stanford U, Sarah Lawrence, Washington U, Wellesley College, Yale U, UMiami, Bennington College, NYU, UMichigan, Boston U, Portland State, and UMaryland. I'd love to be able to slap GSU to the list.

OK... wish me TONS of luck-- I need it! ! !
