SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL
IMANI POV:
I've been denied at all of my top colleges. I know i'm not dumb, so what's the problem?!
This is seriously hurting my mental..
Thankfully i've applied to more colleges, even thought i didn't know i'd even need too.
But I know now. That, that was the greatest decision i made all year.
I am forcing myself to think positive, but my mind keeps going back to those emails.
In big bold letters.
Sorry! You Do Not Meet The
Requirements of KEISER UNIVERSITY!
Good Luck!
The top school in Florida, the school i'd planned my four entire years of college to be in.
And I.. Failed.
I even heard the white girl down the way got in, and i'm so much smarter than she is. Literally just another dumb blond, looking for a good time in college. And she got in.. Not me!
But here I am, sitting infront if my families computer. Although Keiser was the number one school in my head, it was a PWI.. and i'm not sure I'd fit there anyway.
The school FAMU the top HBCU in my state. I've applied to. Starring at the email. Praying, this is where i can comfortably go to school.
My hand shakes as I used my mouse to click on the recent email.
CONGRATULATIONS, IMANI H.
YOUVE BEEN ACCEPTED FLORIDA
A&M UNIVERSITY!
We are so excited to welcome you.
See you soon!
My mouth drops.. I gotta call my mom!
Running away to the computer, I zoom upstairs, almost hitting my toe on the China Cabinet. Dodging the new TV on the floor, my dog's cage, and a random box. I make it upstairs in my room unharmed.
I yanked my phone off the charger, making it fly across the room.
"Shit!" I screeched, running to the other side of my bed to quickly grab my phone from off the floor.
Unlocking my phone, hands tapping away until I find my moms contact. My phone vibrated in my hand.
Brrr Brrrr Brrr Brrr Brrr
Finally. "Hello?" My moms voice rang through the phone.
"I'm in! Mom I did it!"
