So, I return to my beloved Milpitas, and when I enter my room I find a stack of mail addressed to me. I never ever get mail, so I'm thinking, what is this nonsense!? I read the envelopes and I realize... colleges! This is super exciting and equally scary. Colleges? Sending me mail? This means that I'm growing up and getting ready to leave. I don't want to. But I must admit, this gave me an adrenaline rush. Haha. Anyhow, most of them are kind of eh... but the college that has been my dream since I was 7 sent me something. When I saw the Santa Clara University envelope addressed to me... I literally started jumping up and down. I haven't really been thinking about SCU to go to college. It's super expensive and pretty impractical, what with the economy and the fact that my family's pretty tight on money nowadays, so SCU hasn't really been my number one college for some time now. I mean, it will always be my dream school, but I'm trying to be realistic here. This letter, though, it gave me hope.
I know that I'm definitely not the only high school student to receive the same exact letter, only with their own name on it, but it's renewed my dream. A letter to me from the Dean of Undergraduate Admission saying that I'm a talented high school student and that she wants me to find out what part I like about SCU the best really impacted me more than I thought it would. I've already gone online and entered in my user name and password and whatnot. I'm excited, if you can't already tell.
Aside from Santa Clara University, I received letters from Mills College, Montana State University, University of the Pacific, University of Puget Sound, and the National Student Leadership Conference.
But more on that tomorrow. I've been so distracted by this that I haven't been studying. In order for me to get into any college, I need good grades. Bye!
PS: I'm taking my driver's permit test on March 10 at 3:00PM(=
