Reach for the stars

In the Rain, Stars Align

[A/N] Hey guys! I invite you to listen to this song while reading this.

Thanks! 

***

"Congratulations!"

"On the behalf of the Admissions Committee, it is my pleasure to offer you admission..."

"The staff and faculty see in you not only an accomplished student, but also a person with the passion and creativity..."

"You stood out as one of the most talented and promising students in one of the most competitive applicant pools in the history of the Institute."

"Your commitment to personal excellence and principled goals has convinced us..."

 

Take a good luck at these words.

Words of two letters offer to a girl who has the severest case of Imposter syndrome in the world.

The girl who couldn't speak until age of 4...

...couldn't ride her bicycle until age of 10...

...cries over simple words that strangers stab into her heart through a plastic screen...

...throws everything on the ground in frustation every week...

...who needs to be dragged out from her despair by her friends.

 

The girl who made the house virbate with her shouts of joy...

...who saw her father cry for the first time...

...who received phone calls from relatives and familiy friends she didn't hear from years...

...who takes her grandmother's offer of food to prevent her from feeling bad...

...who answers questions asked by the people she despises with a smile.

 

A vase with a crack can still survive centuries longer than the more sturdy iron pots

A smokey glass still lets light in

A smile can easily turn into a tear

Anything can change in a blink

 

Even the greatest leaders turn into dust

Even the smallest atom cannot easily be destoryed

Never stop reaching for the stars

There is one for all of us

 

[A/N] I got into college ^_^

Chapter 30: That girl is smart :) I mean, it's hard to trust a guy after what they do to another girl. You just feel that insecurity, wondering whether he'll repeat the same cycle with you.
