I may not be published, but I got to feel that pride when my 18 year old was.

On Wednesday, October 19th, we were invited to an awards ceremony at 4:30pm in downtown Chicago. Jen had entered a writing competition and won 3rd place. Jen said “Forget it, its not important, we don’t have to go.” I told her parents wait all their lives for nights like this. Nothing was going to stop us from getting there. I was determined for Jennifer to see that its not just her old teachers & parents thinking she has amazing talent, it was the world. Jennifer has amazing talent in everything she does, she just needs to show the world. She’s one of those people who uses both sides of her brain. She’s one of those kids that gets straight A’s and is also the lead actress, stars in the Improv Troupe, etc. (Jen freezing at the train station) I heard on the news that there would be almost tropical storm force winds and cold ass rain this afternoon in Chicago. Of course! Because Bev/Lucy Ricardo needs to travel by foot downtown today. <a href="https://medium.com/@treasurefinder117/i-may-not-be-published-but-i-got-to-feel-the-pride-of-it-when-my-18-year-old-was-100526380c29">Click Here</a>
