Essays, Portfolios, Interviews, SCHOLARSHIPS

Since yesterday I have been

trying to ignore a slight headache

moving around like an ugly snail

taking his anger and frustration

out on the inside of my brainzzzzz.

I believe this might be due to

senior year stress and scholarships,

or the lack of scholarships anyway.

This week I have been continually

disappointed with each letter

tossing all of my hard work

off to the side as colleges
try to gently say I'm

simply not good enough.

I try to not let it get to me too much

(even though I really wanted to be

able to hand my parents an envelope

filled with good news for once)

because in the end I have taken

some valuable lesson away with

each interview, portfolio, and

especially all the time I spent

with my mom on those

daunting essays.

One of which I'm going to pound out

about ethics right now for a chance

to have my name entered in a

scholarship raffle thing,

my last opportunity

for a thousand,

which will keep me

on the edge of my seat

during the end of year assembly,

but wish me luck. :)
