Dang, I'm sorry Stephen. Is there a waitlist?
Something I forget sometimes when I feel cheated out of something is that God's got a plan. Maybe there wasn't necessarily a reason that you didn't get it, but a reason that someone else did get it. Does that make sense? Just pray for peace, and pray for those who did get it, that they do their best with this great opportunity.
Love you kiddo
You're still top notch in my heart ;)

Yeah it's definitely understandable that you dont like that, but there really is a value to diversity. I think affirmative action often goes wrong...but i think the motives for it are often very good. Diversity is a good thing. I had a similar experience as you when applying to NCSSM. I dont know how many of you i've told this...but i was initially flat out rejected for admission, like not even wait-listed (this one i think stems more from the school going for geographical diversity across the state). While it doesnt make sense from the perspective of taking the best student (considering i was an above average student while at NCSSM), I definitely loved the diversity of being able to know people from all over the state and having good friends from the beach to the mountains. The only reason i got in was a miracle from God--he allowed a freak accident which gave me the chance to formally appeal their decision, after which they let me in.
Thats a tough one to take, but i'd encourage you to be uplifting and congratualtory to the people that won. From what I can tell, you did an excellent job with the situation and thats what counts. You win some you lose some. God's got you in the palm of his hand!!
nope affirmitive action is just flat out wrong, its racism pure and simple
stephen, dearheart, i know how you feel, seriously i do, its probably similar to how i felt when I found out i didn't get the park scholarship, just about this time of year too...but let me tell you, God had so many other wonderful and amazing things in store for me by not getting that and coming to winthrop instead. I know you're still going to ECU but ya know, God will use this experience big time.
i heart you muchly stephen!
