Rejection

REJECTION, its part of life, many of us have experienced the rejection of a college, the dreadful letter that begins with, " Iregret to inform you..." They can sugarcoat it as much as they want, telling us the class is full, the year was competitive, no matter how they put it, you are not in. I recently experienced this "sting", no matter how nicely they put it, it hurts to be rejected, basically told your not good enough, your not qualified. It was easy for those around me to say its okay things will be okay that it was not a big deal. However to me it was the biggest deal of my life, I saw my future crumble, how do you not feel bad when the school you want to go to says NO! Its funny how after you get rejected people point of the negatives of the school taht rejected you, I got rejected from two schools, a double whammy. It makes one begin to doubt one self and regret actions taken or opportunities missed. Why didnt I do this, or Why didn't I join that. It was eays for me to say I'm fine and it is how it is, but inside I was crushed, how do you bounce back from something like this, something that can be the difference between whether you make it or not, college is a big deal. When its all said and done time does heal all wounds, no one can say anything to make you feel better, I found that the more people tried to console me the worse I felt. Rejection is never pleasant, but life moves on. One door is closed but another one opens... college rejection letters...... they hurt.
