Success!

I walked into the office. The client was expected in 45 minutes. I had plenty of time to do the paperwork and check my mail. I grabbed the file and started filling out the contract. I hope it sells this time. He reduced the price by $10,000.

I looked at my desk and there was a letter from Leadership Greater Mc Herny County. I had the interview with them two weeks ago. I was just thinking about that group. Actually I was surprised by the fact they hadn't responded to my email thanking them. Oh well, let's see what they have to say.

Congratulations, you've been accepted to our program, you bill for $2000 is enclosed.

Great, I've been accepted to a wonderful program that I can't afford. Just like in High School when I didn't go to the John Marshall Law School mock trial because I knew I couldn't afford collage anyway-- what good what it do.

So I looked at the bill. On the bottom was hand written I am happy to inform you that your scholarship request has been approved.

Wow! I cant believe it! I got the scholarship! I'm going to a leadership training school modeled after the one at Kellogg! I'll learn from the best! And I'll take what I learn and apply it to every aspect of my life! I'll really use it! I'm not the MBA girl, I'm the street kid who appreciates this kind of think!

I called my husband to tell him the good news.

"I knew you would get it", he replied.
