So I just went to Harvard for a Model UN competition
conference.
I had an amazing panel
of chairs (essentially judges) in my committee, and one of the
days in particular, they all looked incredibly stressed
out. So I sent them a note that said nice things about
each of them specifically, and it was so ridiculously rewarding
to see the smiles grow on their faces as they
read what I wrote about them and then passed it along to the next
person. I didn't sign the note because I didn't want to
seem like I was sucking up to them for an award, which is why
after the award ceremony, I went up to one of the chairs and told
her they were from me, solely because I know I would want to know
if I was in their position. Her whole face lit up and she
held my face in her hands, thanked me, and
said I was so much more beautiful than I knew and that I was
going to go so far. It was the cutest thing
ever, and was one of my favorite moments of the entire
weekend.
