a sad day

Yesterday everyone got the acceptance email of their grant request, they received the $500 towards their projects but me. I take it so personally and i feel like my project isn't good enough, or up to everyone else's level. It makes me question why i even tried to take on such a complex subject. I thought it would be a fun challenge and an interesting topic to explore but now i'm doubting it. It sucks because i'm sure i could have continued my ideas of my senior project work for Honors and it would have so much easier. I have done too much research, readings on objects and their relationships with humans to turn back now. 
I just had such high hopes to make this collection in silver rather than bronze since i got criticized for it for my locket series. I am going to keep fighting for the grant until they say NO. 

It also helps to have such a supportive team behind you. I would not even be where i am if it wasn't for the teachers that cared and believed in me. There are 3 teachers that have changed my life in such a positive way that i couldn't put to words how much i appreciate it. i'm so lucky to have that.

Hold on. Have they or have they not turned you down? If they haven't, then what's the sad part? You shouldn't start lamenting until you actually know what their decision is.

Suzi,
If it is a definite NO, please submit your proposal to the Dad Foundation.
