| How happy I am right now.
So today I was really grouchy in the morning,
my hair was frizzy and I really needed to touch it
up with a straightner, AND my dad wanted me to
run and do all his errands before Christmas rush hour.
So here I am, in Don Quiote's trying to exchange his
foot massager for a straightner and other last minute
things we need, and I reallly gotta pee and my hair is
all in my face. PLUS the line was SUPER LONG.
-_-
BTW I still had to pee, then I had to hold it all the way back
into Ewa Beach, with TRAFFIC! Then I had to cash my check
into my bank right before they closed and I had to go to
the Post Office to check our mail.
&& what I found totally made my day and made me forget that
I still had to pee.
Through all the junk mail and some packages
for me, I found a big envelope from NDNU
(Notre Dame De Namur University)
&& I thought it was another reminder from them asking if I
wanted to visit there campus and another campus booklet.
BUT surely, it was something GREATER,
I opened it up and read -----
MY FIRST COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE LETTER!
I was soooo HAPPY, AMAZED, FLABBERGASTED,
RELIEVED just EVERYTHING.
&& I would like to give thanks to the people who helped
me, because without them this would DEFINITELY not have been
possible.
+My family for instilling the importance of a college education in my head.
+Eleyne Fia for pushing me to do the Common App and meet the deadline.
and write my counselor recommendation, and seeing me on her really busy days.
+Ann Tanaka for writing my recommendation and pushing me to get that hard working A/B for her class.
+ Mrs.Everette for squeezing me in to see Mrs.Fia all those days.
+ MYSELF, for writing that damn good essay & Resume for the Common App.
+ && you, best friend, for letting me realize, back then when I didnt care about
going to college or even thought about it, that it was a good option for me and that I should give it a try. Thank you, for that I will never forget how someone other than family actually believed in me. |
