Driving from Grand Canyon back to Las Vegas, we had the best news in a while. Our little Nic has been accepted into UC Berkeley. It was funny listening to her on the cellphone talking to her friends. You can tell she was a bundle of nerves, scared to know the results which were scheduled to be released on the college website at 3:00 pm Wednesday, yet dying to know so she can get out of the stress and get on with life. Then finally you hear the scream and the squeals and you know she made it. Then you hear her voice lowered and consoling and you know the friend who checked the results for her did not make the college and you hear the voice break and you know she cares deeply for this friend. I was a proud mom when I heard her encouraging her friend - don't give up, work hard and then get a transfer, you can do it. And to think this is the friend with a much stronger GPA that is out of this world like a 4.6 or 4.7, a studious and very intelligent person who coached her in calculas because she needed help. What irony.
We are so proud of Nic.
