More writing on the Coaster. I can't believe internship is almost over. It defiantly doesn't feel like it's been almost a month. Let alone does it feel like school ends next week.
I am very proud of the work I have done in the past few weeks and I honestly can't believe that I was actually able to do it. As I write this I am realizing that what I have been doing these past few weeks effect more people than myself. I was watching a video of an award ceremony yesterday and a woman who spoke won the Plays By Young Writers contest in the 80's. She is now an accomplished playwright, and that is largely in part because she submitted a play to Playwrights Project. So the work that I have been doing in making sure all the kids who submitted plays have a chance to have their work read, may be part of someone's journey to accomplishment.
Maybe it's wishful thinking that I am somehow part of something bigger, but it makes me feel important. So I'm going to do it. This is a large part of how I justify my success. I have gotten a lot done in the time I have had here at Playwrights and more than that, I feel good about what I have done. That seems like the best way to measure success. Feeling good about what you have done. Especially since I'm not getting paid and can't measure my success with a salary. Not that it would matter anyways.
I know this post is a little short compared to my last few, but that is pretty much all I feel like I need to say. Getting ready to finish the week strong. Much hope.
(PS. this days thing is getting confusing, so I'm just going to use the days of internship as the day count now.)
