Hey Everyone!

This past month has been super exciting for me! I’ve gotten accepted to TWO colleges!!!  I can’t describe the feelings I had when I found out I got accepted. It was like nothing about this process was real until I got that letter, then it all became real. It’s an incredible feeling!!!  I was accepted to two great 4-year public schools and now I had the task of choosing which one to go to.

Even when I was applying to these colleges I was finding it hard to choose between them. I wasn’t sure which one I wanted to attend. I have made my choice though, and the school I chose stood out for a couple of reasons. One reason is its location, it is closer to home. It is only about an hour and 15 minutes away from my house. The other school is more than three hours away. Another factor that played a huge part in my decision is that the other school no longer has the major I want to study. So ultimately, I’m very excited with my choice and I’m ready to continue with the next part of the college process… Scholarships!  I will post more about it next week.
