Makes Me Think - Today, I cried as I looked at my acceptance letter from the college of my dreams, along with an attached financial aid letter that will cover almost all of the first year's tuition. I have always grown up poor and two years ago my mom was diagnosed with cancer and underwent numerous, expensive surgeries, and thought I would never be able to go to art school to pursue my dreams. The fact that my dream is still within reach MMT.

That is so wonderful to hear! Godspeed to your mother's healing; I'm sure it will be accelerated with your dream in your hands. As Neil Gaiman says, "Make good art." Namaste
