It had been two months since I had sent off my application form for the America college. And every time the postman delivered the post I would race to the front door like an excited dog waiting for a letter from America.
It was a normal Monday morning of my last week at school, I got up shoved my hair up into a ponytail and carefully put on my ironed school uniform. I hated school uniform, it always made me look 2 sizes bigger than I was, plus it was itchy. Anyway as I settled down for breakfast the doorbell rang. I looked up at mum my who was half way to the door. She opened the door and collected the mail. I went back to eating my breakfast. She wondered back into the kitchen analysing the pile of mail.
"Anything for me mum?" I questioned. She then laid a large envelope in front of me. My eyes grew wider, was this what I thought it was. Was this the letter I was waiting for? I slowly expanded my arm and took the large envelope which lay in front of me, with both hands. I looked at the signature which was displayed on the front. It read....
To Miss Chapen
From the college of performing arts America.
I couldn't believe my eyes. The letter I had been waiting for since I was 7 years old, was here in my hands. I then slowly turned the envelope around and opened the seam. I then slowly and carefully pulled out the stapled bits of paper. I turned the paper around to see what the writing read....
Dear Miss Chapen
I am writing to formally congratulate you that you have been accepted into the College of performing arts. We have contacted your school and been given sensational references. We would be honoured if you would join us on our next school semester.
Your sincerely
Head of Houston
I starred at the page a little while longer. Reading it over and over again. I looked up to see both my parents standing there waiting to hear the news. I couldn't control my excitement.
"I got in" I said in a whisper. My parents looked at each other, trying to figure out what I just said.
"I GOT IN!!" I screamed in excitement. A huge grin mounted my face. I got up and hugged both my parents they seemed as shocked as I was. The first person I told was Holly my absolute best friend. She was happy for me but so upset that I was leaving her. She knew this was what I wanted. That night I couldn't sleep. I just imagined what it was gong to be like, the people, the classes, the freedom.
