Touched so many hearts

How come when I use a photo that tears me apart to look at, I win the most scholarships off of? 
I have won a total of 3 scholarships off of this one photo from last summer, 
and I entered my portfolio [all 50 images] into 12 different contests, 
and out of all the images they always pick this one 
and the essay that went along with it? 
I put my heart and soul into that 800 word essay and
I thank the person who happen to be in the photograph
If it wasn't for the love I have for you
I would not be getting these amazing scholarships.
I will always love you..

Comments on the photo I got: 
"The essay made the emotion in this photo so more realistic, we felt your pain, your passion and your love for this photograph. Excellent work." -President of The Art Institutes

"I could not help but read this essay over and over again, trying to over come the amounts of tears that our admissions board shed for you while they read the essay allowed." - Secretary of Admissions

"This image has touched more than just the Admissions staff, it touched our teaching staff as well.
We have put this essay and photograph in our art gallery and it has gotten so many
compliments from, people who walk into the school, students,
RA's, and many more. We are proud and excited to welcome you aboard
to the AI Pittsburgh team. We can't wait to have you come July." - Head of Admissions

The photograph I entered:
Soon I will post the essay as well
