“Catherine! This is
an acceptance letter. A school must have noticed you!” Catherine’s mother was
staring in awe at the letter in her hand. “I know that.” Catherine said though
gritted teeth. She took the letter out of her mother’s hands, the gold letters
gleaming in the kitchen light. “I’m going to open it.” She announced. Catherine
turned the letter over and opened it. Inside the envelope there was a beige
paper with fancy black ink scrawled on it. It read:

Dear Miss Alander,
Congratulations and welcome to Overland Boarding School for the Gifted. I
am pleased to advise that subject to the approval of the Faculty of Graduate
Studies, you will be admitted to the Alice program beginning September 2017.
You are joining a very distinguished
group of students with many different gifts and talents. Your choice to attend
OBS for your final high school and college years is perhaps the wisest choice
of your life. You are to be congratulated on the personal and academic
achievements that have brought you thus far.
We encourage you to be in contact with us between now and
September.
First, you will need to notify us as
soon as possible but no later than July
31st regarding whether or not you plan to accept this offer.
There is a long list of students waiting to take up any spots that are not
filled.
Your advisor is Mr. Knight. We encourage you to
contact Mr. Knight within the next few
weeks to get acquainted, to discuss your interests, and to begin to plan your
program.
You will probably receive an e-mail or
two from some of your fellow students who have been members of our program for
a while. They'll be happy to give you a feel for life in the program from
a student's perspective.
The entire program is very proud to be
able to attract so many outstanding scholars like yourself. We look forward to
meeting you in September and to developing with you a sound partnership in
teaching and learning for your future.
Yours truly,
Kane Pillar
Principal
