I'm leaving for Cambridge tomorrow. I'm super excited and I can't wait to go! I found a group on Facebook with some of the other kids who are going on it, and I think that one of them will be on the same flight with me crossing the Atlantic. So I may meet someone just while I'm waiting for the plane.
Since this blog is now called "My Experiences," I thought it would be appropriate to tell you about another honor I was recently awarded.
About six months ago, I entered an essay in a youth writing contest. In March, I recieved a letter telling me that my essay had been accepted for publication. Then the other young essayists from across the country all voted on the "top ten" for their age group in another state. Adult judges also chose top ten winners.
In the seventh-ninth grade category in Oregon, I was awarded a place in the Top Ten.
There was no ranking system, no "#1, #2," etc., it was simply the top ten best essays in the category.
Because I won the Top Ten spot, I get a free copy of the essay anthology and a $50 savings bond. But what I really care about is the bragging rights!
One more step on the way to becoming a published novelist! Thanks, everybody, for so much of your help and support!
God Bless,
Erienne
