My Oldest Daughter Is Going To Be Published

My Oldest daughter is 17 & in grade 11 & she is both a voracious reader, & a writer of poems & short stories.
Her poems have been published in the last three years of the school's anthologies!
This year she was in Creative writing 12 where there is only 10-12 students chosen, (she was one of them) & was given the task of writing a short story
& she became one of only two in her school that were chosen to be in the UBC
(University of British Columbia) anthology.
I had to sign permission for her to be published because she is under 18 & the short story is set in Vancouver in 1936 the year City Hall was built called the "Tower of Babel!"
She had to take a 7 page short story & edit it down to 3 pages!
She has been invited to a reading next Friday evening where she & other students, along with famous authors will be reading their works.
God is good!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Who recognized her gift of writing & encouraged it?

Am I being desperate enough for congratulations?
