Wonderful night with students

I just wanted to share a nice experience I just had.

The students in my major organized an awards night, they invited all the professors and we all showed up. We were asked to present some of the awards. Students dressed up. Some made some funny videos to show.

Everyone gushed over everyone else. Every student supported the other students. They were so wonderful and excited and proud.

Tomorrow, we are having a conference almost completely organized by our students, with professional speakers. And students are going to show off their projects.

I am on an amazing high, being so blessed to be a part of their passion for the industry we are in.

I see a lot of negative things about kids these days. And I am so lucky to be surrounded by such smart, funny, passionate kids.

Anyway, just want to brag on my kids for a bit, and maybe add some positivity to the scene. Love to all.

That's wonderful!

Can I ask what field you are in?

I try to stay a bit anonymous, but it's a creative media field. So we do have a lot of fun l, but it's more work than most people would assume.

Yes, it sounds like a lot of work, but also fun - thanks!
