The Lord has answered my prayers today with the letter I received in the mail today, even though I did not receive the scholarship. I prayed that the right people - the people who truly deserved the Gates-Millennium Scholarship - would get it. Though, to me, this is not the greatest news to hear, I do not beleive that the committee made a mistake in their selection. There were 1,900 finalists, and 900 of us, even if we were outstanding and eligible with our forms turned in on time, will have to find a different approach to paying for college. To my fellow finalists who did not advance, I promise there will be a way for us, and to the scholars, congratulations. GMS or not, your dreams are still able to be fulfilled.
