Last September my DD applied for college at 8 different universities ranging from Alabama to Baylor to Texas Tech and everything in between. Her heart, however, has always been on only one school and that is Texas A&M University. She has talked about A&M since a young middle school student. She has attended soccer camps there, gone to concerts & fotball games, and has even done midnight yell practice - all in hopes of one day being an Aggie.
She got accepted to every school she applied to, months ago, except Texas A&M. Because of the goofy laws in Texas, A&M has to go through a process that drags on forever.
Cutting through the chase. At 11:15pm I logged into her A&M account to check one last time before going to bed. There it was!!
"A final decision has been made. Please click here to respond."
I quickly took my laptop up the stairs and woke everyone up. My poor DD, wearing her A&M sleep shorts, was almost afraid to click the mouse.
Drum Roll please .*.*.*.*.*.*.
"Congratualtions. You have been accepted into Texas A&M University!"
What a weight off the shoulders of the people in my family. Now, if I can manage to get me oldest DD out of school in the next year and a half, we will be even happier!
