My blog won an award. Really?

I while ago I wrote about going back to school.

It wasn't something I had hoped to do... after all I earned a degree many years ago.

My daughter signed me up for a class at the local community college.

I blogged about the experience here: I took my daughter to school.

Well, one of my assignments was entered into a contest.

It's a story I reluctantly shared here: There is a bridge.

I just received a letter informing me that I won second place in the personal essay category. Medal 2 by Pontus Edenberg

Entries came from a variety of universities in the Maricopa County Community College system.

This is a collection of ten Arizona universities with over 250,000 enrolled students.

Wow... that's somewhat awesome... but I'm guessing only a very small fraction were in the contest.

They're planning a banquet and we'll be reading our entries.

Plus, it seems, I'll be coming into some money.

Not a whole lot- but hey... I'm now a professional writer!

I know...

it's a stretch.
