Today is a Good Day ... [View all]

Today, BabyGirl 1StrongBlackMan got not one, not two; but three calls from the Admissions Offices her top 3 college choices ... each telling her to expect an acceptance letter and scholarship Offers in the mail next week! Her number one choice told her, "We want you ... You're in ... Don't worry about how you'll pay for it; we'll make away!"

This is good because she's been kind of on edge and insecure about her prospects.

I'm so proud of her ... now the tough part ... Preparing her for that idiot that claims she took his spot; despite the fact, she's a 3.8 gpa'ed, Advance Placemented, 96th and 98th percentile on the SAT and ACT scoring, 10 hour a week volunteering, 20 hour a week working (a job that she got on her own), student.
