My son was beyond crushed when he received the news that he was declined from his first choice of schools (Clemson). As an AP student since middle school and 3 sport all around athlete, it was hard to believe. But the kid was determined and would not give up. He put a plan together - go to a (NY) state school, sign up for 30 credits, focus on the grades, and try again. He hung Clemson banners from his SUNY dorm room, a paw sticker on his mac, and declined all social activities. He stayed disciplined and it paid off. He is officially TIGER BOUND and we couldn’t be more proud!
That’s great! Congrats to him! =D>
awesome. Hard work paid off
Go Tigers!!!
