Hash tag, wow

When I decided that I wanted to put a huge effort into getting on The Ellen Show,

I didn't know how it would go over with you all, but I knew the support you have given me in the past

and figured that it would be somewhere along those lines.

Guys. I am completely blown away with just how much support you showed yesterday.

I have no idea the number of tweets that were sent, all I know is that my Twitter was

completely jammed full all day with @ mentions, retweets, etc.

You became the voice of the students that I want so desperately to make known.

You wrote in to Ellen, posted on your Facebook so your friends and followers could see,

and I am grateful.

On @theellenshow top tweets, guess who's in there? Ya, we are.

Among all the celebrities that tweet her, including the Bieber ;),

several of our tweets made it in there because of how many of us were trying to get her attention.

That's incredible.

I don't know if I'll get an email from their show today, tomorrow, in 6 months...

I don't know.

But I do know that I believe too much in this project to give up.

If we have to tweet blast her in a few weeks again,

I'm up for the challenge.

Thank you for being up for the challenge with me.

That's the whole purpose of The Shine Project;

to come together to make things happen that seem impossible.

We're making hard things possible.
