BOND

Accepted to: 5 Schools

Waitlisted to: 3 Schools

Rejected to: 5 Schools

The old me would have beat myself down, my self-esteem would have dropped.

But I thank God for this new found confident and faith. I know everything is in His hands.

Thank Him for the awesome colleges that I did get into. I continue to seek Him for the schools that I'm waitlisted for and financial aid.

I learn this past few weeks to be still, I learn not to fear no more about tomorrow, I learn also not to care about what's happening currently but just be patient and rejoice in Him in all things!

My dad has been hoping for me to get into Brown. But I got rejected. I was not sad or disappointed at all but being the caring father he is...

he told me, "It's alright. I'm still so proud of you. GIVE ME A HUG! (comes and embraces me) I think you're so smart."

I love my dad because he has always put me and my sister first in everything. I love him because he's not like any other asian parent that would have been angry with me for not getting into the top colleges in the country.

I love him because at my time of needs he is there to encourage me sometimes not directly due to the "manly" image.

But guards down what he said touched me so much, it gave me a boost of confident.

That one gesture was more than enough.

I love you Daddy, thank you for everything.

P.S.

I wish I can find more time to blog. But there's just so much to do.

Must get my head in the game!
