Maya’s hands trembled as she clutched the printout. It was strange seeing her essay, her rawest self, displayed for everyone to see. She felt a lightness in her limbs, a desire to skip down the hallway. She looked up at the ceiling, thinking about how good the light looked.

She found herself replaying the memory of writing the essay, the frantic typing, the late-night revisions. It was a love letter to a dream, and now the dream had acknowledged her. It felt as though she'd opened a door and the sunlight had flooded in.

She pictured the people reading her words and felt a warm current flow through her. She felt like she could write a whole new essay, right now, just because of how good it made her feel.
