When I was applying to universities this time last year, I did not apply to Wright State because I was not interested in attending this university. I applied to The Ohio State University hoping I would get in. I also applied to other schools too. I don’t like to put all my eggs in one basket. A few months later I received a letter from OSU saying that I was accepted. I was thrilled. Unfortunately, I received my FAFSA and found out I did not receive any financial aid from the government. I also did not receive any outside scholarships or grants. So I had to figure out what to do with the money I did have for college because I did not want to have to take out numerous loans and be indebt up to my eyeballs for four years. So I decided to apply to Wright State hoping they would accept me or I would have to put off school for a year and get a full time job. However, I knew that if I did that, I would not return to school ever. I filled out the application, sent it in with the fee and waited for a response. A few days later, I received a letter in the mail from the university, and before I opened it I thought this is it. I opened it and came upon a letter and a certificate. The letter read,
Dear Emily,
Congratulations! You have been admitted to Wright State University for the Fall 2010 Quarter.
I was relieved. I had somewhere I could go to college. This university may not have been one of my choices, but I am happy that I did go here. I can always go to OSU for graduate school if that’s what I want to do in four years. I don’t know if it was fate that made this the university I would go to, but I am kind of glad I did.
