I am a perfectionist and have always had an utter disdain for failure. This has kept me from trying a lot of things in my life. Having finally accepted that failure is a requirement for a fulfilling and diversified life experience, I have created this year long project in an attempt to become comfortable with the idea of failing. This blog chronicles my journey with failure.

Day 47: Ask an Atheist Day
I am an officer for my school's skeptic/secular student organization. Today we had an event called "Ask an Atheist Day." The purpose was to help promote awareness to students that there is a secular organization on campus. We also allowed people to approach us and ask questions, whatever they liked. I really didn't know how this event would go.
Result: It was a huge success! Lots of people approached us and asked us about the organization. Pretty much everyone that approached was in favor of our organization. We got some questions about religion, our beliefs, things like that. Some people stayed for quite a while because they had questions they wanted to ask or had things that they wanted to say.
Yay for fear of failure turning out to be a success :-)
