Little Successes

Life is filled with many obstacles but even more successes.

It's important to take a moment and reflect on those successes.

Yesterday was one of those days.

From the beginning of this semester, way back in January, I have been working on my magazine for a school group project.

This project has taken up a lot of my time, as well as my fellow CreCommers.  Through writing feature articles and proposals, creating ads, and designing the layout of the 24 page magazine (or more for some other groups), you begin to wonder if it's even worth it.

The long struggle can keep you from ever seeing the final end result.  But when you get there, you can't help but feel a huge sense of accomplishment.

Yesterday was the CreComm magazine fair.  Each magazine had to create a booth that would not only show case the magazine but would also create a buzz that would have people wanting to check out your booth.

Everyone came up with great/interesting ideas for their magazines.

My group created a dance magazine called footwork, a magazine for the Manitoba dance community.  Our booth featured the wii game Just Dance.  We would have students, parents, and any one else who came to our booth, dance to enter in to win our prize pack.

After the magazine fair, I felt this huge weight come off my shoulders.  It felt so good to see how the magazine project came to an end.

Even though life comes with its obstacles, struggles, and stresses, it's important to Take A Moment to realize that even though life can be tough, it's important to know that success is soon to follow, and it feels so good when it does :)
