Debate/Texas A & M/Senior Skip Day
Last weekend was a pretty hectic weekend for me, becuase on friday we left from school early and headed for austin to compete in a debate tournament,that was hard enough as it is debating people who live only for debate sorry cuz im not all greatness like those people up there. but they were nice enough to give amateurs advice. As for Marcie and Erika both of them took home 5th place trophies out of 54 schools who competed what an acheivement im really proud of u guys good job u made mr and mrs torres really happy woo wooo. well anyways we were at austin competing and we slept there that same day we got there and on saturday we debated and as soon as our rounds were all over we headed home. we arrived at home like at 2 in the morning and that same day i had to be up by 10 to go to another trip but this time this was in Bryan Texas College Station, i went up there to take the ACT exam to see if i could be admitted in to their university i was tired and not well rested. On our way up there i met 7 individuals whom i did not know, we all got to know each other and we all got along perfectly as if we knew each other it was awesome i had a great time with them.ok so we got there to A & M and we quickly went to our rooms i played some pool with a friend that went with me on the trip then we went to bed cuz we had a long day ahead of us. we could either choose on taking the SAT or the ACT I took the ACT. the ACT was after the SAT so i waited for like a good three hours before i could take my test.so some friends and i went exploring the campus. The campus was beautiful i fell in love, the people were all so friendly and extremely welcoming know i know why i want to be an Aggie cuz i would perfectly fit in, atleast i think so he he.well i only needed a certain score to meet in order for me to be considered to A & M so that was at the back of my head the whole time "this is my last shot dont screw it up come on you could do it" i had that thought in my head for sooo long. so it came time for the test and i took it took 3 hours then we were threw with it.We stopped to eat then we headed home it was about a 8 or 9 hour drive back home or maybe 6 or 7 i dont know either or. but it was still long. they fed us sooooooo many times i was like stop feeding me lol but i still ate not a lot but i picked at it, all fat ass i know.so before the test and during our ride back home i kept on praying and praying for the lord to help me meet the standars. i arrived on Monday like at 3 in the morning i had school the next day. i was extremely tired at school and it just so happened to be senior skip day on tuesday. i couldnt go because i had already missed friday and monday cuz i was out.so i was one of the loser seniors that stayed behind and didnt go to class.that same day my friend that went up with me to college station had called the guy that had driven us to A & M he had our test results and my friend told me that he had met the standars. so he gave me the guys number and i called him and he did indeed have my score. i was trembelling when he was about to tell me i was terrified as well. when i spoke to him he told me to stand up if i was sitting then he told me to sit down, then once again he told me to stand up then he told me are u sure u want to know what u got are u sure for real. i finally told him yes i am ready and he told me what i had scored.....i was so happy when he told me that i met A & M's standards i was just jumping and cheering and dancing omg i went crazy well from last time that i nearly gave up home on A & M but i didnt and look what happened an opportunity oppened up for me.So i told him what does this mean now that i met the standars for A & M he told me your more than likely admitted to Texas A & M College Station. i wanted to tear when he told me that. he congratulated me and told me good work and i told myself that dedication does pay off. so now im just waiting for my acceptance letter. im not officially in but im praying and hoping that i get the letter soon. i hope it sais "congratulations Juan on getting admitted to A & M" i would cry if that happened tears of joy. so you all keep on praying for me and if u already were praying for me than thank you cuz without your prayers i wouldnt of had done that good. Thank You all for truly showing me the meaning of friendship and for not letting me give up on A & M love you all...thank you once again im truly grateful for having the friends that i have. bye guys
