Context: It was really cool to be at the award ceremony for my friend whose paper received a scholarship. I knew she had a good piece of writing on her hands that I'd helped edit, but I didn't expect it to win an award!
Speaker 1: My friend wrote a creative writing piece that I helped edit, and it won her a scholarship. I was so proud, like a dad, even though we're roughly the same age.
Speaker 2: Congrats to your friend! That is an amazing accomplishment.
Speaker 1: Yeah it was! I joke with her that I should get a portion of the money since I told her she had a really good piece and that she should submit it. She wasn't originally going to.
Speaker 2: I would be proud of her too! Hopefully her success continues. You sound like a good friend!
