When you can’t believe in yourself you can always tap your fan club for support. </p> <p>I’ve been rejected by colleges, companies, boyfriends. But it always turned out to be the right thing for me. I love my husband, job and educational experience. </p> <p>I don’t mean to be Zen but if it’s meant to be then it will be. If you really love St. Thomas talk to a guidance counselor. Find out how you can improve your application or test scores. </p> <p>Also, consider why you applied to St. Thomas in the first place. Can other schools meet those needs? What academic degree/opportunities/career do you hope to gain from attending a university? </p> <p>When I was growing up I wanted to attend a private, expensive liberal arts college. Instead, I attended two community colleges and graduated from St. Cloud State University with my bachelor’s degree. I also wanted to be a ballerina. That never panned out. But heck, it’s never too late to reach for your dreams. </p> <p>I took an adult ballet class several years ago and was truly no good at dancing. But at least I got to wear a leotard, ballet slippers and a bun in my hair for a few months. And now I’m working on my master’s degree at Hamline University. Did you know that Hamline is Minnesota’s first university, founded in 1854?</p> <p>So don’t give up on yourself Adam. You’re good enough, smart enough, and gosh darnit, we like you.</p> <br class="clear" /> Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:03:05 -0500 Melissa Gilman comment 376 at http://www.letsgosouthwest.com http://www.letsgosouthwest.com/disappoinment-sucks <p>My title isn't really a good indicator but I'm actually quite good at turning a phrase. There are times, though, that being blatant or straight-forward is best. Simplicity has its own elegance I guess.</p> <p>I recently applied to St. Thomas University and was rejected. So now I'm somewhat dejected and probably another form of 'jected' if one exists. Who would think that they would turn someone down who had average grades and took forever to get a two-year degree?</p> <br class="clear" /><p><a href="http://www.letsgosouthwest.com/disappoinment-sucks">read more</a></p> http://www.letsgosouthwest.com/disappoinment-sucks#comments Sun, 16 Mar 2008 14:33:01 -0500 Adam Pulchinski 866 at http://www.letsgosouthwest.com
