To Who I Am Becoming...

Well I hoped it would happen and it finaly did. JFK University and Lesley University contacted me to set up interviews. I am going of to California on Friday and going out to Massachusetts next Tuesday and Wednesday. I am so excited. I don't know what will happen but it will be an adventure.
