“For me, the college process was very overwhelming and daunting at times. Writing supplemental essays and applying to 21 schools was a great personal accomplishment. Now, that my hard work is finally paying off, the whole process is very rewarding and I’m proud of everything that I’ve done throughout the college process and Highschool career. Yes, I am very excited. I am looking forward to a new chapter in my life and am ready to start focusing in on my major. I’m still waiting to hear back from some universities. But I’ve heard back from some of my tops, such as UC Davis and University of Washington. I’ll miss all of the friends that I made at Notre Dame, my mom/dad, dog, and my bed the most. I would’ve gotten a head start on it sooner and taken a practice ACT and SAT exam before jumping right into the real one. This would’ve given me an idea of which exam I would’ve better succeeded in.”
