Published?!

Yesterday I received my poetry portfolio back from my Creative Writing professor. I received an A on the over all project, but that's nothing too special. The big thing to me was that on the grading sheet he circled one of my poems and said that it should be published. Maybe this isn't a big deal, but it totally is to me. What's even better is that it was a poem I had written almost a year ago. I didn't alter it or add anything to it. It was raw, and personal, and he thinks it's publishing material. I'm just proud of myself. I always wonder if I'm actually good at what I love or if I just love it. It feels amazing to see that I'm actually good at what I love. Also, I definitely will be having the poem published.
