acceptance & funding #1 -- for sure now

suddenly i got really busy. march 30th i received the good news that i got accepted to the medical college of georgia. i was at work when i received the email. the news fell on me as if the first time i saw snow fallen from the sky. i was truely excited. i couldn't help myself to read through the first paragraph twice to be sure of the news, but i never completed reading the whole email until after i told all the important people at work. i was overjoyed!

it was a symbol of freedom and relief. it felt like i could finally come out of my cocoon. it felt like coming out of the jail and i could start all over. it's hard for people to understand me because i felt terribly of how i did in my last two years of college. and with that, my dream fell apart and the road to the future just seemed ever lastingly winding. it felt as if there was no turning back.

but i learn...i learn much about life--how to cope with unplanned events in life. i realize what living really is. of course i haven't experienced all about life or i had nothing close to the worst of life, but i could imgaine and picture what life is about. and with everyday's learning, i hope to make it with strength, pride and dignity. 25 years have past, and i wish to make the rest of my everyday count. i hope i don't only make it just for me, but for you too, all of my friends and my loving family.

today, april 9, i received the notification from MCG that i will be fully funded for the 1st year and receive a full tuition waiver. until this very moment, i know for sure going to graduate school is happening for me. though i am still waiting to hear from 2 other schools, i have this offer in hand, i am happy and i feel blessed. but i can't resist wanting to know more about what else is coming my way. it's getting hard for me to wait. i lost my patience as i grow older...but i am excited, very excited!
