well.............darylene finally got her answer from smittcamp.she didn't get the scholarship but she was put on an alternate list.Hopefully she may still get in.In the meantime I suppose it is time to consider all the other colleges on her list.Of course,money is a factor.She has applied for fafsa and should most likely get that.We will only have to come up with about a thousand dollars.Then she will have to apply for it again every year until she graduates.She wants very badly to get into the audiology field(hearing impaired).It is hard sometimes to watch her because she wanted very much to go to Fresno State,and it was plain to see that she was upset.It amazes me that someone with remarkable grades like hers didnt get accepted.The other thing with this system that has always bothered me is that they tell you to try hard and things will happen for you.I guess I disagree with that statement because I believe if you come from a well to do family with funds then you get to go wherever you want.Money is not an object for them.It bothers me when I hear the teachers at high school telling the kids not to worry about money for college.Not to worry??????where in heck do they think it comes from??????Are these people actually teachers??? counselors???or what????....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....makes me mad is all........I mean this girl has grades that are truly amazing.....4.08 gpa...........straight A's all through senior high school.........never missed a day of school as well......What exactly do they want from her?????sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh.........
Oh well ,all we can do is try and get her applying to other colleges.....
