David let out a whoop as he read the email again, confirming that his essay was selected. He jumped off the couch and grabbed his jacket. He needed to be outside.

He burst through the front door, the late afternoon sunlight hitting his face. He began to run. He sprinted around the block, a silly grin plastered on his face. He felt like he could run forever.

He stopped, breathing hard, his heart pounding in his chest. A little boy on a bicycle passed him, waving. David waved back, feeling a surge of pure delight. He was on top of the world.
