It’s strange when the future presents itself. For the past year I’ve speculated, discussed hypotheticals, estimated costs. I was expecting a struggle, some sort of test of will. I can’t believe that it’s all over. I’m accepted, and yet now I find myself conflicted. Do I apply to other schools? Columbia? Yale? Bigger question: Am I overestimating my own capabilities? Probably, but even if I’m not, I don’t want to give in to status. I want to earn respect through my intellect, not through my wallet. I’m blessed to have options. Torn.
