I did not tie the knots on my Art portfolio thereby receiving a C in Art, keeping me out of the National Honor Society. Happily I see it did not change the arc of my life though at the time it seemed insurmountable. The beat part of the story though was the end where you saw that your friend looked beautiful in white.

You had my complete attention....and anticipation! But, I very carefully read each word AND I even took the time to scour each and every picture for the sweet and small perfect details you have throughout your home. I LOVED your story and loved the pictures! I have not heard anyone use the phrase "$20 words" in such a long time. Loved it!!!! One more thing....I wish students today had that much drive and ambition!

I guess I never thought of that "white robe and tassel" (ours were actually just red robes like everyone elses, but separate tassels) as something other classmates might actually want....to me, it was something that just happened and that anyone could have should they want it. And, funny too, that I sometimes go back and edit my posts and remove words that I think people might not be familiar with or find odd...but I have to really think about it because they don't strike me as odd. I lived inside books as a child and words were my best friends....Perhaps I need a lesson in just being true to myself now....Smiles & Thoughtful Hugs ~ RobinTheCrankyCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314851714923955216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-65363473554072424222011-11-14T19:27:23.205-08:002011-11-14T19:27:23.205-08:00Becky

I remember a writing class I had in college where I was so convinced writing something really dramatic was the way to go. In the end, after a lot of red marks, I too found that writing what I knew and from my heart was really what my professor was looking for. Only then was I rewarded with an A and a writing award.<br />Too bad I've gotten so slopping with my writing now!!camp and cottage livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493023859271366201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2540459793417833940.post-62728142544103394122011-11-14T16:29:17.734-08:002011-11-14T16:29:17.734-08:00I love your story/love the post.
