I think that’s true now more than ever. I still remember the “So?” reaction from some when my entry won the Worcester County Maryland’s elementary school film festival in fourth grade.

My picture was in the paper along with the other kids who won in our county.
I went to state and didn’t win. But I knew my parents were proud, as were my teacher Mrs. Brooks and the school librarian who helped me put the film together. From an early age, I loved storytelling and at that time, Nancy Drew especially. Hence mysterious uranium cave, of course.
