"Aren't you supposed to be in Florida?" This exact phrase is a instant start to an emotional rollercoaster. Last spring I signed Division 1 to Jacksonville University for woman's rowing. Currently I am attending Delaware County Community College. It breaks my heart everytime I have to explain to people why I didn't attend the school I loved. I simply respond that it's a long story but in the end my parents loans were rejected and it cost too much out of pocket. This was the truth but when they say the truth hurts I wasn't exactly expecting it in this way. Many people don't understand the way I feel about living in delco... I despise it. I have always dreamt about getting away and starting fresh away from everyone. Receiving the news that I was unable to attend crushed me in ways unimaginable. I am disappointed for the fact that I was set back from this dream but decided to act upon it. I am trying my absoulte best to achieve a high grade point average so that I am able to transfer to a good school farther away. I am trying to remain positive but everytime that question comes up it hits hard.
