Ups and downs

Noah got a letter in the mail today, notifying him that he didn't win the writing/illustrating contest he entered.  He made a really good book to enter, and he thought he had a chance to win, so he was disappointed.  One of the judges wrote a personal note on his rejection letter, saying that she loved his story the best and expects to see him next year.

The day ended on a better note for him though.  He was in the MLB Pitch, Hit, and Run contest, and he qualified for sectionals in pitching.  He's very fired up about that and has dreams of making it all the way to the finals in California.  Seeing his face when they called his name made it worth standing out in the cold wind for two hours.
