It’s always been my dream to go to Harvard. Along with this dream, I get tons and tons of comments from my family, friends and teachers(b.c they are worried that I might work so hard, and get my heart broken):
“It’s going to be hard!”
“you’ll have to work your butt off!!!”
“you could have the grades, the SATS and the extra curriculars AND STILL not get in!”
“Don’t get your hopes up honey!”
***None of those bother me as much as this one comment that I have been getting a lot of lately:
“HARVARD IS A MALE BASED AND DOMINATED SCHOOL. THERE ARE NOT SO MANY GIRLS THERE, AND THEY ARE NOT AS WELCOMED AS BOYS.”
what are your thoughts on the above comment?
Do you think its true?
For those of you who actually attend Harvard, do you find the above comment to be accurate?
thank you for your time!
