Here I toot my own horn:

So my teacher seems to have come around to realizing how great I am. It's not that this greatness of mine is in such magnitude that I am better than him, that I don't even need to take his class, or anything like that. It's simply that I wanted recognition from him that I am the kind of person one might expect great things from. That, if pushed enough and in the right ways, I will achieve greatness. We had these design projects to turn in, you see, and he complemented me on mine in front of the rest of the class and it made me feel validated and worthy. Go me.
By the end of this school year I will have a line. My very own fashion line. Perhaps some day I will be able to manufacture these goods for general consumption. Until that day comes I will continue to get excited by my small leaps and bounds of and towards greatness.
