“You can’t be a vet,” Nancy, my riding coach, said. “You won’t have time to ride, and you won’t like it.” My initial response was, why? Having my coach, of all people, tell me I couldn’t pursue my passion was the hardest thing. My heart dropped, and the lump in my throat grew bigger. “Because […]
The moment has finally arrived; the college application essay has found its way onto my computer screen. No pressure. That was total sarcasm by the way.
