A Difficult Decision

<p>Dear Yale CC SCEAers,
I know you all are extremely nervous about the so called "imminent decision" that is about to be released this Monday and you all should be. You all have worked hard for it. I have been the same way for the past some weeks as well. This morning my mom dragged me to this prayer ceremony. I was for sure that I was going to pray for the last time for my acceptance into Yale. However, I thought of my Youth Club adviser who is battling terminal cancer right now. She has has been so influential in creating who I am today and I am only applying to Yale because of her. So I had to decide whether I wanted my prayers to be for Yale or for her. While Yale means the world to me, I can't forget the person who has made me Yale worthy and so I let my last prayer, before Monday, be for her and not for Yale. </p>

<p>My point is some of us will get into Yale and most of us won't. It's going to be painful and depressing. But we can't let ourselves be caught up with Yale acceptance hysteria to such an extent that we forget what is really meaningful to us! The decision is made and regardless of what that may be don't let it affect the things you truly love!</p>

<p>Good luck to you all!</p>
