Acceptance from SUNY

I was sitting in my bed last night when I got the call. My mom had called me and after a long day, I had been sleeping and missed the call. When I awoke from my nap, I casually had checked my phone and realized I had a missed call, voicemail and two new text messages from my mom. It is never a good thing to see that. I thought that I was in trouble. What could I have done wrong? I was going through my mind as to what I could be in trouble for.

Immediately, I returned the call to my mom to ensure I was not in trouble. Hearing the sound of the ringback on my moms phone gave me indescribable nerves. I could only wonder what she had needed me so desperately for. Once she picked up the phone, my stomach sank. The first words that came out of her mouth were "It's about SUNY". This is the school that I dreamed about going to.

I was not sure on how to react to what she had said. The thought of not being accepted or the idea of them losing my application scared me. Then I heard it. The four words any senior looking to go to college want to hear. "You have been accepted".

My emotions ran wild. I was beyond excited to have been accepted. Later on in that week, I received the letter from the college. I immediately knew what the package was when it arrived at my house. It was a thick envelope that contained the actual acceptance letter and an instructional guide on what the next steps are.

In the fall of 2014, I am going to be a Fighting Tiger at SUNY Cobleskill.
