Dear Applicant,
We are proud to tell you that you have been accepted to Prestigious University! Welcome to the Class of 2020!
I know so many of you are ready to read those exact words on your letters. Hearing these words will echo in your ear and you'll be riding on cloud nine for months because of your accomplishment.
This past semester though, I know was rough for a lot of you. On top of worrying about applying to college, you may have had to prepare for Finals, take care of family, work, or some other crucial activity. Some of you may have completed early admissions. For some of you, this was the best semester of your high school career, and some, not so great.
Before I say anything else, I just want to tell you how special you are, and how great you are doing regardless of everything else happening right now. There's so much going on in your life that you often feel lost. Granted, this time is probably one of the most difficult, mentally and emotionally challenging that you may experience in your lifetime, but you have gotten through it. Despite how urgent everything seems to be, remember to take time out for yourself, and reflect.
Your mental and physical health are of the utmost priority, and if you feel you are being deprived of any thing that is negatively contributing to your quality of life, then reach out. Reach out to whomever you trust enough to tell your largest struggles. That person or people do not always have to be your parents; they can be mentors, siblings, counselors, teachers, etc. Just remember not to keep all that negative energy bubbling inside. And you can vent to me if you need to, but you have to promise to trust me when I say this: It will get better.
Happy Colleging, and New Year!
