You are very right, Delia. This is what happened to me after I read the submissions for your nomination and for
Krishna's: I started getting a goofy grin. One of those very happy goofy grins that comes from a place of contented amazement. It was the same goofy grin that I got when I read the 2 essays that our team submitted, nominating two 'fantastic and deserving' students. So - I went back and read those 2 submissions again to see what would happen and, yep, the goofy grin was spread all over my happy face. I'm so glad we have this new recognition of and for students. I know that many of us will grow in respect and humility, watching it become a wonderful part of our FRC potential and history.
All the best,
Jane
