A long time

84 months,

365 weeks,

2555 days,

61,320 hours,

3,679,200 minutes,

all leading up to this exact moment.

The essay, or as my counselor says, “a minimum of -364- words,”

That will decide my fate for the next 4 years of my life.

It’s scary if you think of it,

7 years of stress,

time management,

sleepless nights,

failed tests,

lasting or fading friendships,

all to shape us for this moment.

The application of a lifetime,

The thing that can make or break someone’s dream.
