just finished my preliminary zoom meeting for the teaching artist rosters

Background: I didn't get on the roster years ago because of a failed background check which is now clear
I was just like
"I had a lot of growing up to do back then, I was a huge fuck up, but I'm here now if ready to do better"
and in hindsight "I'm a huge fuck up" is probably not how I ought to address folks who I want to cut me a check in the future
but they absolutely loved it???
I got "we appreciate you and love your art and we really promote a growth mindset and need more folks who are willing to speak freely about it"
I'm not crying you're crying
