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.
