Telling people at your current school that you're leaving

<p>PurpoisePal -- If you play squash, you may travel to Blair Academy where my son goes. I know they compete with Hackley in squash. Good luck next year!</p>

<p>I didn't tell anyone that I was applying because I feared getting rejected or waitlisted and having to announce my failure to the whole world. The minute I was accepted to Choate, though, I told some friends and they everyone knew within thirty seconds. My classmates are all really going to miss me, but they are all really excited for me to!</p>

<p>I've never played squash, but if I turn out to be good at it, and I get on the team, that would be so cool! :) </p>

<p>Thanks, Burb Parent!</p>

<p>My daughters school had a signing day this week. At the school assembly, each student was introduced and greeted by a rep from the s</p>

<p>thinkpink, your reasons for not telling anyone were the same as mine. The thing is, though, now that I know, i don't know how to tell everyone. How can I tell my best friends that over the past few months, I've been involved in a semi-rigorous application process and I got in and I'm leaving? I've been going to my school for over ten years. There's no easy way to tell them I'm leaving...</p>

<p>o cool. good luck with everything!</p>

<p>Thanks! You too! :)</p>

<p>yeah i didnt tell anyone cos i thought i'd be rejected!!
then i told a couple of friends... and they were like... SO YOU KEPT THIS A SECRET FOR 6 MONTHS???</p>

<p>and then yeah about 30 seconds later everyone else knew</p>

<p>I asked my son; he said everyone thought it was really cool....and everyone new of his school. We live in New England, so people are pretty familiar with all the schools.</p>
