A giggle escaped Olivia’s lips as she scrolled through the website, her fingers tracing the words on the screen. It was her essay, all right, the one she’d agonized over, the one she'd almost deleted countless times. Now, it was held up as a shining example.

She felt like her feet weren’t touching the ground. A warm current flowed through her, leaving her giddy and energized. She reread it a second time, then a third, each time finding something new to appreciate.

She spun around in her chair, a grin plastered on her face, and immediately decided to bake a cake to celebrate the moment.
