Anonymous Letter

--by bluqtgyrl, posted May 3, 2007

My sister is in her second to last year of college, she is getting her Master's Degree in accounting. She and her group (Beta Alpha Psi) were preparing a presentation for a competition and she was so stressed out I thought she was going to break. She thought the presentation wasn't good enough and that her team wouldn't win first place.

I couldn't do anything but watch her break down from the pressure. So I decided to make her a card and write her a letter. In the letter, I told her that it's okay if she didn't win, because knowing that she put all her heart and effort into it, she has already won. I anonymously placed the card on her desk.

That same night, she came up to me and hugged me. Even though I didn't sign the card, she knew it was me. She thanked me for the card and motivation. Her smile was absolutely delightful to see.

That weekend I wished her good luck and break a leg at the presentation. And her team got first place. =]
