It's beginning. I'm so excited I could cry! These events have been a dream of mine for years now and I've finally made it to one, of hopefully many. I am finally feeling accomplished and the recognition I will receive tonight will be proof. This formal event gives me the best of jitters and I can't wait for people to see what I can do from now on. Glasses will be filled, toasts will be made and everyone will applaud me. The ones who doubted me will now see that I didn't let them get to me. I did it!
