I am a very proud Mama

Yesterday Caroline found out that she has been accepted to her dream school, The Fashion Institute of Technology. Her major will be film and animation.
That’s the short version. Caroline’s sister Gwen told Caroline about FIT and the more Caroline read about it, the more she wanted to go to it.
She applied to back-up schools which she got into all but two and those were at the bottom of her list.
But FIT was where she wanted to go.
In April she was informed that she had been waitlisted for the school. She was devastated to put it lightly. They informed her that there would be a final decision by July 1st.
After some digging, we found out that one of the things that was clogging up the system was COVID and the number of students who were accepted in 2020 had deferred to 2021 thus limiting the spaces for this year’s seniors.
Didn’t stop her from wondering what she did wrong or (there were a lot or she came up with).
This wore on her in not a good way and colored her mood with the unknowing and know that COVID had yet again cockblocked her.
Yesterday she received an email that said
Congratulations, Caroline!
It is my pleasure to offer you a seat in our incoming Fall 2021 class!
This was the best news she had in a while.
She paid her fee immediately and is now waiting to be able to get all her other ducks in order.
I am so very proud of her.
She worked very hard to get in. Her grades are stellar. She has continued to learn about drawing and animation.
And her efforts have paid off.
I am grateful for Caroline getting into her dream school.
