How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: I got the form at the post office (the online form wasn't working when I tried to fill it out), and completed all of the information. Then I picked a day and went to the post office, where they took my picture, my birth certificate, and I paid them the money. Read how I did it…

I was able to attend a premiere at Lucasfilm, since a friend of mine is in media. Had no clue that Lucas would even be there, but it was enough to just visit Lucasfilm.
He was there, though, and he actually came up to talk to us as we were doing an interview! And then later I was formally introduced to him and got to shake his hand.
It was my first time in California, and I was only there a day, and I got to meet the creator of Star Wars. I never imagined such a thing was possible.
This is very difficult for me right now. My eyes are constantly red (dry eye/blepharitis) and on top of that I now have to wear my glasses after being in contacts for 15 years.
In addition, possibly because of the stress of making my eyes better, my hair is falling out and is impossible to style. AND I have braces. In my thirties. You get to wondering if you’ll ever feel good about yourself again.
