I got into my dream school. I've wanted to attend the University of Wisconsin-Madison since I heard about them at Brave New Voices this past summer. I know that without God I wouldn't be here. Every time I think about First Wave, I begin to cry. I don't think anyone understands how badly I want this. I've never been good at anything and I'm just scared. Is my art enough. Is my truth enough. If I don't get First Wave is my writing journey over? I know I shouldn't let this determine everything I am but how can it not when all I've ever wanted is to be is more than the words on my paper. I pray that God believes I am enough. 

I want to be light.
