[quote=Anonymous]You are four years late to the saloon, where the school board met faced with similar dilemma and got rid of the test all together. They realized that a math and science-based admission test was causing too much stress and wasn't truly capturing the essence of applicants' potential. After much deliberation, they decided to eliminate the test and instead decided to ask applicants to submit essays showcasing how hard life has been to other people that looked like them, unknown to them. As the committee dove into each applicant's essay, they were unprepared for the emotional rollercoaster that awaited. Each story was more heart-wrenching than the last, detailing struggles, triumphs, and the resilience of the human spirit. They read about people that students never met but looked like them, who faced adversity with grace, overcame challenges with determination, and spread love and kindness in the face of adversities. The selection committee found themselves sobbing as they read through the essays, using up box after box of tissues. They were moved by the applicant stories of strangers who had faced hardships they could scarcely imagine, yet still managed to find hope and joy in life. The more tissues they ended up using the more the essay was scored, and that got the applicant into TJ. [/quote]
