<p>Hi Step,</p>
<p>It is so good to hear from you (as I did wonder how things worked out and I even searched for you). Congratulations on having such an amazing selection schools to choose from. I am glad that all of these great places saw your great potential and made it possible for you to attend. You did all of the hard work by bringing your “A” game to the table and it really paid off. You’re an amazing young man who definitely deserves all of the good things that are coming your way.</p>
<p>My heart is full from reading your post and I am doing all that I can to keep from crying. As parents here on CC, a lot of us get ragged for hanging out here after our kids have gone through the process. You are the reason that we stay (that and the fact that we’ve made a great group of friends). We’re just trying to help the best way we know how.</p>
<p>I know that you are going to do great things and the time will come where you will pay it forward and help another student along the way. Wishing you Godspeed as you embark on your journey to Ithaca and the next phase of your life. So check back in on us and let us know how it is going.</p>
<p>{{{{{{{{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}}}}}} and all the best to you.</p>
