Get down off that crucifix, someone needs the wood...
But let's be serious for a moment. What was the best college that accepted someone from the GHS class of 2004? Let me be frank, the list of colleges that the 2003 class headed off for was, in a word, disappointing.

Everyone finds success in their own ways. I know I graduated in the top 15 of my class, I was class president for two years in a row (and raised over $10,000 for my class), i received the 2003 Boston Youth Humanitarian Award, and i started both the Civil Rights Team and the GSA in our high school. Not only that but I was very active in the Greater Boston area and with schools in our area. I go to a small liberal arts school in New Jersey now (Drew University). It isn't the most prestigous school but its fits me. It has the major i want and the atmosphere I want and need to excel.
I am still working hard here at Drew. I am on the Dean's List, I know my Dean on a personal level, I know what i want to do with my life, and I have a million and one resources at my finger-tips. I just found out today that next year I will be an RA for a freshman complex and I will be attending a conference in April on Social Justice Dialogues in order to bring the information back to the school for next semester.
There are a lot of other success stories that come from Georgetown too. I am a strong advocate for people leaving small-town Georgetown to experience life and everything the world has to offer. But i also feel as though Georgetown is a great community to go back to. I consider Georgetown my home. Its where my family is and its where some of my closest friends are.
So...just because people from Georgetown aren't making headlines doesn't mean that there aren't any success stories.
Peace.
