"My first college acceptance"

This month I received the most exciting news, I got accepted to Florida Atlantic 
This acceptance made me a bit frantic
Now I have to make the choice to either stay near home or go down south to the sunshine state
Leaving my family and friends would be hard but I feel like going to Florida is my fate
I visited the campus last July and completely fell in love
But going to a new state and starting my college life in Florida is something I can't get a hold of
New Jersey has been good to me but I don't think I can withstand the cold much longer
Some warm air and sun can only make me stronger
Plus, I got into the nursing program which I thought was a scam
because they only take 83 applicants in the nation which made my acceptance a celebration
Whatever choice I make I know it'll be the right one
This kind of decision cannot be easily undone
I have faith that I will succeed no matter what path I take
Even though this decision has a lot at stake
May God be with me through this college decision headache

  1. Listen to your heart Kelly. I know leaving is tough, but that is the first step of growing up. Whether you go to college in New Jersey or Florida it is still a huge move, but do what is right for you. I am sure you do not want to leave your mother, father and brother behind. With whatever decisions you make your mother and father will always be there for you and they will always give you their blessings. It is hard but not impossible. Wish you the best have a happy new year

  3. Although I know it will be hard to leave here, I believe you should do what your heart desires and go to school in Florida. Thinking back at it I wish I had applied to some schools further away. Great poem! :)
