We got the letter today. I thought I would be relieved since the past three months has been hell. I’m kind of in a depressing mood since there’s no hope to hold on anymore. My daughter is an extremely motivated and hard working girl. She’s never gotten a single B in her whole 12 years of school. She started playing the violin and piano since 5 and synchronized swimming since 6. She trained 20 hours a week and still had to practice her instruments at least one hour each everyday. She took all the hard classes that her school offered. All her teachers, counselors, principals, conductors and coaches appraised her work ethics highly. I understand the decision can’t define who you are and it’s definitely not the end of the world. I just feel really low and lost right now. People always say hard working pays off but for us, it’s not true. I don’t know who I should blame, I just feel that the whole system here is just not right.
