I won 3rd place in a contest on Degree Story. I appreciated my 50 dollar Amazon gift card and the recognition. My story reached people. My story is still on the front page, featured. It's not commented on, but it has reached a wide audience and has 5 stars. It's career specific, but I hope the gist of it is conveyed. When we want to open up and tolerate those with special needs in our classrooms, often the path is closed by high stakes testing, culture, stereotypes, and even rules.
This win just goes to show that I can do this writing thing. I can reach people. Maybe this isn't my message, the one that will inspire millions, but it takes trial and error to learn what my, or your, message is.

Putting yourself out there is the toughest, and sometimes most important, step. Congrats on the win and keep going :) You'll find the message you're meant to convey. Just write and it will be there.
