The Letter
Location
My hands are shaking as I hold the letter,
Accept? Reject? I’m not sure which I’d like better!
As I read the letter my face in a grin,
I can’t believe what I see…they let me in!
Pretty soon I will be off to college on my own.
After 18 years with my family, I will finally be alone!
As I sit pondering sorority life, parties and all the fun,
It hits me like a ton of bricks…what have I done?
I don’t know how to do laundry or even how to cook.
Now I will have to do all that while studying a text book!
Now I will be living in a dorm with someone I don’t know.
I’m starting to panic…I just need to calm myself and breathe slow!
There is no doubt about it; this is going to be tough!
But as my dad says, “always do your best, which will be enough.”
So I have decided rather than to worry or fear what lies ahead,
I will face this new challenge with excitement, not dread!
