I lost

Well, if "This I Believe" is a contest, I am a loser. This weekend I received word that they won't be broadcasting my essay on NPR. I must say that I handled it very maturely, I only cried for a little while.

Really though, I am fine with it. It is my first rejection... the first, I am sure, of many.
