why me?

i was puzzled, but i have to say that yesterday’s early morning bus ride to camp was unforseeably crazy. my mind was full of thoughts. the initial elation and disbelief then the reality and decisions having to be made kicked in.

that was after i read my stanford admission decision email on my e61 using “borrowed” wifi at the busstop waiting for the bus 51 i just missed.

why me? why would i have fallen into that 7.2% acceptance statistic! my sat scores, essays, portfolio and testimonials weren’t that outstanding i would have thought… i would have been grateful to just have been waitlisted! but watching videos and reading up more on stanford today made me feel that many others are asking the same question as me.. and its up to me to give an answer to that question..

there very well might have been some divine intervention between me and the stanford admissions department.. but i’m glad it happened… now i really just hope that you will be in the states with me and i can visit you often…
