But the story doesn’t end there. Currently I face a beautiful dilemma, because I also heard back from another big dream of mine: acceptance to Stanford‘s MBA program. (Yay is an understatement!) . You gotta understand - I HONESTLY didn’t think I would get in. The acceptance rate was crazy low, and at every step of the application I had to remind myself not to get my hopes up. It was a near impossibility to get in. So imagine the ecstatic shock of receiving that call from Palo Alto. The conversation itself was a blur as I mouthed “oh my god” to my parents. Lesson learned: Dreams are funny things. The most unlikely ones can catch you off guard. Anyways... thought I‘d share this story with all of you - you’ve been such an integral part of my journey and I would like to express my gratitude for your role in getting me here. Thank you for following and listening to the stories I tell. I have yet to decide. I already am leaning towards one of these opportunities, but I’ll share my decision when the time comes. x Mod
