You get the email “Your applicant portal has been updated” Your heart drops at the speed of light Your hands are shaking as you open up your portal “A decision on your application has been reached” it reads
You worked hard for 4 years to get to where you are today You know you deserve to get into a good college You deserve an acceptance
As you stare at the screen You think about the scenarios in your head
What if it’s an acceptance letter? Then you let out a high squeal and a sigh of relief Your hard work has paid off You have been admitted to a college But most of all You have an option A worthy addition to your plethora of other acceptances
What if it’s a rejection? Then you will be upset at first But then you will realise that it’s all okay You aren’t perfect You can’t get into every school The school lost out on a good one And there are other schools out there
You close your eyes Take a deep breath And move your mouse over to the link You click on it The screen loads And there it is There’s your decision
