Letting Go Part 2
August 17, 2008Dear Mrs. Fleming,
I’m really happy to have been considered admission to Stevens. It has really been my dream to study in the States and I’m glad that the opportunity to have that dream realized was with your institution.
After several discussions with my parents, I decided to stay here in the Philippines and continue studying here. I really wanted to go but then, my parents think that we don’t have much time to transfer there and that, the tuition is really expensive.
It is such a waste to let go of this opportunity but, I have to do what my parents want me to do. I guess I’m not that defiant enough to find my own wings to go there.
Thank you for everything and thank you for believing in my capabilities.
Forever grateful,
Stephen Dominic Maningas
