Hard work pays off

I felt pretty good about my presentation of my audio slideshow yesterday afternoon. I was pleased with my work, and I could see the judges were impressed. It was a good feeling.

I’m the type of person who rarely (if ever) wins awards. I just don’t have that luck I guess. I never knew though that a project for one of my classes would ever win an award.

Tonight I attended the awards ceremony for EUReCA (Exhibition of Undergraduate Research and Creative Achievement). That sure is a mouthful. I was skeptical, but hopeful that I had a chance of winning. After all, there were only four participants from my class, so the odds were good. Three of us won the awards for our college, and I happened to be one of them.

Hard work really does pay off. I spent a lot of time collaborating with Graphic Arts Services and melding this together into a cohesive piece. I’m proud of it, and I’m thankful my professor pushed me into doing this. They even gave me a certificate! I feel all official now.
