Yesterday Grams asked me to go get the mail, for I was the only one with a pair of decent shoes on. I gladly jumped up, braced myself for the cold weather, and ran out to get the mail. As I thumbed through the mail, on the way in, I noticed that there was something for me. I quickly glanced at the senders address. It was from Otterbein College. as I quickly dashed inside from the cold, I tried very gracefully to open my letter. That didn't work as well as I thought it would. Lol. I was too excited to really care, though. I skimmed down to the part that really mattered. (That would totally be the body of the letter.) As I read aloud, I couldn't help but get over joyed by the words that left my mouth.
"We are pleased to inform you that we have accepted your application to Otterbein College."
My heart jumped. A small moment of pure joy had entered my life. I held in my hand a letter of acceptance to a college that I greatly look forward to attending. That small moment was soon replaced by the small fear of the journey to come.
As much as I look forward to attending Otterbein, there's this small fear...of life...that continuously haunts me. I want so many things in life and yet, I have no clue where to start or how to survive in this new "foreign land". Yeah, I know I'll be fine. I know that things will work out. That I have never lost faith in. I guess it's just the adventure of life and the unknown.

Of course, I've always known you'd get in because you're a phenomenal student and colleges like your type.
I sure hope our tour will elevate even more your feelings about this school.
Congrats! I applied and was accepted to Otterbein too! (Though I went somewhere else.) It's a lovely campus! Good luck!
