I wish there were more like this because I would love the money. I am also sure I am not the “type” that they would pick for this scholarship. I know a Willa because William Ivey Long was a good friend of hers. I saw them in a video once when he went to visit her at her house and he was watching her paint with watercolors. All I could think is that I hope this is the relationship me and Susan have when I go visit her when she is 115 absorbing all of her genius like my Dumbledore. But I would also really like to get this scholarship too, I would also like to reach a point in my career someday that I can also start my own scholarship fund so I can help even one person be less stressed about school and focus on the art more.
