Going for a job you don't think you'll get

I regularly contribute to a forum (I am a closet geek) and I had been posting on there about my attempt at a career change. Obviously I knew it could be hard to get the opportunity as I had no direct experience. But I always believe to give everything a shot, as it usually pays off in the end.

I just got a message from another member there, which has put a massive smile on my face. The gist is that she is a HLTA who is paid LSA wages, who lacked confidence to go for anything else (despite having a degree). She saw a fabulous job in an outdoor education centre...
' Thank you for giving me the courage to apply for a job that I think is out of my league. Even if I don't get this job it's given me confidence to keep trying.'

I know this post is bragging somewhat, but it really cheered me up. I really hope she gets it, but even if she doesn't get this one, she may well get her chance, just has I have been given mine.

Edited to add - The lady has an interview for the job she didn't think she would get! I have my fingers crossed for her!
