This is my thank you letter to the dept. scholarship committee. Thought you'ld like to know i used your quote.
Dear Scholarship Committee:
"What a cliff we all stand before. Adventure! Game on." Jeremy Jewett, a wonderful friend and advisor of sorts, left his friends with this quote before leaving for Hungary and a year of teaching abroad. I admire his stance.
What a cliff we all stand before. My cliff, it seems, began to form a week ago after receiving my first job offer. I knew what I wanted. My goals were defined. Money was not involved. Yet, what was discovered was that turning down a position that brought with it nothing for me but money was not so simple. I began to doubt myself.
Adventure! I’ve never been career oriented. Living life. Finding smiles. Love. A career is a means to an end. Doubt can creep throughout a body without the aide of time. A choice can switch from being the best opportunity to the least destructive.
Game on. It’s a matter of mindset. It’s a matter of knowledge. Knowing that perfection is not a matter of choice. Perfection is there, the choice is in seeing it. In accepting it.
This school was once my cliff, this department my adventure. You’ve helped define who I am and where I want to go. You’ve been perfect. Thank you for this final scholarship and for all previously given. Thank you for the smiles.
