nwhikerWell, she has at least one college acceptance to her name, and not from a waiting list (Perry...): Eastern Washington University.
It was a backup school, and it's too far for us to be happy sending her there (though we would if it was the best choice for her), but it's a real university and she got in.
Major sigh of relief, especially after last night's freakout. She's absolutely thrilled, btw, that some college, any college, accepted her! I hope there is more good news in store for her.
Part of the issue, btw, is that she is completely opposed to community college. We've never, btw, talked them down, but part of the issue is that as a kid with learning disabilities, she's often been consoled by people who say things like "well, you can always go to community college", which did not give her a good feeling about them.
That kid... absent the dyslexia, dyscalculia, executive function disorder, ADD... would truly have had the world at her feet. She's incredibly bright, personable, tenacious etc. Damn, I'm proud of her. Because all of that shines through, even with the school difficulties.
