Sarah describes a Moment of Win as times when we are awesome. Moments of achievement: accepting your college degree, crossing a finish line, finishing a project, doing something you've always wanted to.
I immediately opened iPhoto to find my oldest Moment of Win in my digital photography collection, and I found this gem, which, coincidentally is also my current Facebook profile picture.
This photo represents what is possibly the proudest, most satisfying moment of my entire life. It beats out graduating from college by a landslide.
This photo was taken 11 years ago outside of my high school. That paper is Green Ink, the newspaper I resurrected and brought back to life. I petitioned for it, I worked for it, I sought approval for it, I built a staff for it, and I got it published. That day was the day we picked up the first issue from the printer -- coincidentally the same newspaper I freelance for today. I'm in the middle. On the left is Jed, who handled all the lay-out for me. On the right is my co-editor-in-chief, my partner in crime, a really great friend of mine back then.
We were all so proud. We had accomplished a lot.

That is such a cool story! I know you'll use the drive that brought back the school paper to accomplish other amazing things!
