[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, I remember. I took the envelopes from the friendly mail man who handed them to me and within two minutes I was sitting frozen on my porch, completely numb, with a pit in my stomach. It was worse than when I had my heart broken for first time. Like most familes in DC, this meant that we would have to move or perhaps I would have to find a job in a different city ( one with good public schools) That is no big deal. Find a new place to live, a different employer, make new friends, get to know a different town. Done. No what hurt was having my sweet beautiful child rejected at age 4 by anyone. I heard another mother's words echoing in my head " applying to private school was the worst experience of my life" One of the letters was a WL, and that school called me at work three LONG weeks later. It seemed an accepted family had declined their offer of admission and my DC was in. It happens. [/quote]
