Letters.

My mom just informed me that all my high school letters have arrived and they are waiting on the dining room table. I am so scared, its not even funny. I just hope i get into Walter Payton or even Jones or Whitney Young. I'm so nervous. Two of my friends got into WY, another two got into WP, a couple into Northside, some into others too. Some are still waiting for letters from CPS and other non-related schools like ChiArts or Von Steuben. Huh... Anxiously waiting to open my letters from all of the applied to high schools. Wish Me Luck. Again.

I know that i will be nervous and scared by just looking at the envelope. I'm scared to open them. Because you never know if there will be a Congratulations! or a We are sorry to inform you... in the letter. You sometimes just don't want to know. But we have to know and face the world with tears in our eyes and strength in our minds even though there is a hole in you heart if we don't get in.
