Brooklynn Spiller

On April 14th, a rather cold Friday, Brooklyn received a notification from her email while sitting in her Government Economics class. Spending her Friday in this class was not her idea of a good time. Wishing the time would pass by quicker, Brooklyn waited on her phone, anticipating the end of class. Scrolling through her social media, Brooklyn was surprised to see an email from the University of San Francisco. She knew she was expecting college decisions soon but had no idea what the email was about. Expecting an information packet or some sort of update, she opened the email. Not knowing what she was receiving, she read, “You have been accepted…”.

Wanting to scream and cry, she had to pull herself back together in class. The University of San Francisco was one of the top colleges she wished to attend. Excitedly turning to her classmates, Destiny Parker, and Emma Larson, she showed them her email. After talking about it with her classmates, she texted her best friends Olivia and Sydney Cruz to share the news.

After reading the email, it was hard not to picture her life in the city. She could see herself walking around the city with all her new friends. Going to all the shops and going around campus and going to college celebrations. She was most excited about the view of the bay. Loving city life and hustle culture, she couldn’t wait to start moving.

Even though going to college meant leaving her family and friends behind, she couldn’t be happier. Knowing that this was her last summer living at home as a high schooler, she wanted to make it her best. Although she planned trips with her friends for the summer to keep her busy, she knew summer here would not last and she would have to leave. Looking forward to making new friends and learning more for her future career, Brooklyn had the best Government Economics class of her life.
