The One Where Bri Gets Into College

 

 

Today was an amazing day. Bri found out that she not only got into one college, but two!!! How amazing was that.

 I first heard she got into one from Emmie on the phone. When I talked to her, she said Bri had good news. She encouraged me to call Bri. Lo and behold, I called and found out she got into Endicott College. Great job Bri. Not only that, but she also got an 80,000 scholarship over four years.

 However, that was not the only college she got into. She found out that she also got into Bridgewater State as well (my Dad and Uncle Chet would have been proud). They essentially gave her full tuition for four years.

 What an amazing day. It is great to know Bri has a place to go.

The One With the College Meeting

 

 

Tonight, Bri, Emmie, and I attended Junior College Night at DHS. The night was a one hour presentation about the college application process for juniors.

 

The night was interesting. There was a ton of information, as well as a QA session involving admissions employees from UMASS Boston, UMASS Lowell, UNH, Suffolk, and Endicott - colleges that students from DHS often apply to.

 

The night was informative, but also overwhelming. However, it marks another milestone as we begin to look at colleges.

The One Where We Skate At Endicott College

Yesterday, we did something we had not done. We skated at the Raymond Borque Arena at Endicott College.

What a great experience. First, it has been years since Emmie and I were on skates, so that alone made it a wild time. On top of that, Bri and Kiff have really come a long way as skaters. It was great to see them on ice.

The arena itself is a beautiful place. It is wonderful inside and there is a room with a pair of old Borque skates...how cool. The rink is awesome and the ice is simply fabulous. It was an honor to be on it.

To top it off, we were able to make our own cups of hot chocolate. It was the perfect ending to a great day.

Overall, it was a fabulous time...and we cannot wait to go again!

Thanks, Endicott, for a wonderful experience.
