Help From Others

Hi all!

I went downstairs for something and Mom told me she submitted my name to be on Ophra. According to her, she is offering to help people if someone sends in their name and says something interesting about them. While the chances of me getting picked are low, it is kind of nice to know she thought of me. However, I am wondering if going on a show like that would be of any help for real. Sure people get things this way.( I saw it on the Montel Show enough times.) But, is being a shy writer a good enough reason to put my name out there?
