<p>I appreciate whoever is reading this. I would love to hear what you have to say. Let me know if I have a chance. I’ve read and noticed that to some CC users, getting rejected by their dream school is the end of the world to them, but I honestly don’t mind that much. That is because I see can see myself going to other places and have no problem with it.</p>
