Day 240: Woohoo...first college acceptance

 "A college degree is the key to realizing the American dream, well worth the financial sacrifice because it is supposed to open the door to a world of opportunity" - Dan Rather


Project 365: #240

It has been a tumultuous start to the school year, especially for Cait. Not only has she moved in the middle of the IB in her Senior year, and has a ton of NJ state requirements to catch up, but she has also had to choose and apply to colleges for next year. This has been a hugely daunting task with no history to fall back on, or previous knowledge...so needless to say has been extremely stressful. The unknowns to everything are immense.....SO, the pressure eased a little today when she received her first notification of acceptance....WOOOHOOOO! It is to the University of Arizona in Tuscon...a 36 hour drive away, or 6 hour flight. BUT, it was an acceptance, with an academic scholarship. It has eased the stress, answered our prayers, making everything a little less stressful and a little more d-able. Needless to say, we celebrated with genuine New York cheesecake!!
