The day I find out whether I got accepted has finally come. In the morning before class started, Emily seemed really tense so I asked her what had happened. She then expressed that today is the day Berkeley and UCLA are sending out acceptance letters at 3:00p.m. This made my heart race because it will determine whether my mom will be more determined to force me to go to one of the schools.
Class ended at 3:05 p.m. and I quickly rushed back home. My mom had called from work right when I got back to tell me to quickly check if I got accepted. Apparently, she already knew that the schools are sending out acceptance today. I logged in with my temporary Berkeley e-mail address and the first thing I see is “I’m sorry to inform you…” I was happy at first because now my mom can’t make me go to that school! However, I was a little disappointed to be rejected. Then, I went to UCLA’s website to login to the admission page. In huge capitalized letters I see “CONGRATULATIONS.” I was really shocked to make it into one of the best schools in California, but that shock quickly turned into despair. Now, my mom will use all her power to accept the offer!! I’ve been to UCLA campus before and I could already feel the competition right when I got out of the car. I don’t want to feel that way every single day! I can’t wait to hear from FIDM because that is the only way I can escape from my mom’s planned future for me!
