Admitted

Here comes the newest chapter of my life. On February 25th at 9:00 pm I would receive the best news yet. I quickly jumped onto my computer after having read that a friend had also been admitted. I opened my application and to my delight I saw the word "Admitted" followed by a letter which read,

"Dear Ashley:

I jumped for joy and even sang some songs. My mom was at a Women's Conference, and I quickly texted her the news, within minutes I had the news on Instagram, Facebook, AND twitter--massive group texts were sent out to almost everyone in my contacts....My dream had come true!

I am beyond excited to be able to start this next chapter of my life, and to meet new people!
