After years now of being ...Thanks for sharing Emma. After years now of being in communities, and hence knowing thousands of young college hopefuls, and equal numbers of eager, stressed out mothers, (and, additionally in my case, athletes) there is one thing I have learned, it is that somehow most everyone lands exactly where they are supposed to be. It is a bit of a phenomenon how that miracle occurs. One mother sat in a car with me balling her eyes out over five years ago, and just last week when someone mentioned that school, it was nothing to her, because her son had literally landed in a better place, and he is all the more successful as well, just like you. Success is not measured by schools, its measured by mastering our talents and passions. Yale, yes, it certainly is a beautiful wonderful school, and perhaps my favorite among the Ivy Leagues, sport the tee shirt, and be true to you! Best of Luck.

You're amazing and you're going to do amazing things with or without a degree from Yale. It's a good dream, but you cannot hold it against yourself just because it didn't happen. <br /><br />-Chelsea<br />chelsandthecity.blogspot.comChelsea Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444354210958777592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748341062928217097.post-44791129369998602972014-04-08T13:02:05.593-04:002014-04-08T13:02:05.593-04:00I can totally relate.
