You have been....

Rejected.

Wow... how can one word hurt so many different types of people in different types of ways? Let me elaborate:
1) You apply to the school you've dreamed about for years
2) You ask out the girl/guy you've wanted forever
3) You try out for a sports team

and you get: rejected... Ouch...

My situation was the North Carolina School of Science and Math. The best high school in the state. Oh! To have that opportunity, to jump start my career. To assure a future. Well, today that hope was dashed. Rejected. Not even put on the wait-list. Just straight rejected. My best guy friend got in though...so that's a plus. It wasn't totally in vain for everyone.

So how do you deal when you aren't exactly where you wanted to be? Good question. I don't feel depressed or even disappointed (O.K. Maybe a little). I just feel blank.

But when you think about it: Rejection in inevitable. You just handle it as best you can. I didn't get into NCSSM. It sucks because I worked really hard, but isn't that the point? I tried. I went up against the best and I failed. Plain and simple. Apparently, it's not in God's plan for me to be at that school. Does that change my intelligence? No. Does it change my future? Not if I don't let it. The Lord will bless me and my family and provide us with what we need as always. My job is to simply accept the things I cannot change. And yes I am probably talking to air, but this made me feel so amazing.

So here's to making due with what you've got and getting along just fine! I hope anyone who's been in this or a similar position will raise an imaginary glass and toast with me. Here--is to second place! Salud!
