The letter was a great disappointment to me. It was from Holy Cross, the only school I really wanted to 1 . I scanned the page, “…. We had a great applicant pool this year. …We can’t offer spaces to  2 … and place you on our waiting list.”

“What does it say, honey?” my dad asked, his voice full of  3 for me.

“I didn’t get in, but I’m on the waiting list.”

“Well, at least it isn’t  4 ,” he said brightly.

“Yeah, but  5 , I don’t want to be on the waiting list; I want to be  6 . No one gets in off the waiting list. It’s a way of saying ‘Thanks for  7 ’.”

“Then let’s go out there and tell them so.”

“That sounds  8 , dad.” I said sadly, “It doesn’t work.”

Upset and annoyed, I  9 myself in my room. However,my father’s advice kept  10 in my head. I thought about it for a few days, finally coming to the  11 that he was right. And the next day I seated myself across from Mr. Luis Soto, my admissions officer.

“What can I do for you, Nacie?” he asked pleasantly.

“Well, sir, I am here to tell you that I love this school and would love a  12 to be here. I just wanted to tell you how much going here would  13 to me—it is my only dream college— and that I would use my time here to the best  14 . I wanted to let you know that if you gave me a chance and reconsidered my application, you wouldn’t  15 it.” The words had poured out 16 I could stop them or check their desperate tone.

Mr. Soto looked me over for a minute before he smiled broadly.

“OK, that is the kind of thing we love to hear. Congratulations, you’re in.”

It was so  17 and I asked, “I’m sorry?”

“We want people in the class who want to be here, who will  18 the best of this education. I’m glad you came to talk  19 to me. I’m happy to offer you a position in the Class of 2009.”
