<p>SevenDad,</p>
<p>Quite funny you mention them discouraging me, because that is just what my father was doing. Saying that “Hm… Let’s look over your stats, quit cello… Did bad on the SSATs… H
Yeah, you’re definitely going to get accepted.” And I immediately just stopped listening after that. Yes, I quit cello after playing it for 6 years but I am still in orchestra and string ensemble, I just don’t take private lessons
anymore because to be honest, my plate is already WAY too full. I KNOW they want me to go to boarding school, probably as much as I do. But they are bad in making a child feel good. As usual.</p>
<p>Oh and I’m pretty sure my mom could care less about expanding my scope of schools. She only wants me to go to the GLADCHEMMS schools because apparently they increase your chances of going to an Ivy Leaugue. Which is also why I’m quite afraid she might mess up the parent interveiw by letting off the wrong impression of why I wish to attend the school. I honestly want to go to boarding school to be independent and experience what college would be like. It seems quite scary but fun at the same time.</p>
<p>I’m honestly not quite sure what makes me special… My mom says it’s my love of poetry and my passion for Girl Scouts but lets be honest; there are many Asian girls out there who have a talent in writing too… Now my personality, I’m going to straight-out admit it. I am extrmely talkative (hope I don’t scare my interviewer by talking too much.) and I do think I have a personality quite different from anyone I know. But how I can I speak for the rest of the applicants? </p>
<p>For now I might as well trudge through and go on with my life.</p>
