Success

[vollmus]

Not only did I just receive a B+ on my first college paper, my professor told me he knows I could have done better if I'd spent a little more time revising it and been more critical of my own writing. That is possibly the most encouraging thing I've been told about my academic abilities since I left the fourth grade behind.

I hadn't realized it would be so gratifying to be told I could do better. But to do so well, and then be told he knew without a doubt that I could improve—I'm beyond happy.
