Acceptance #5

We are so proud of Julia! She received her fifth college acceptance into the nursing program at Saint Anselm College!  She was invited to join their honors program and they offered her the biggest scholarship so far!  


Honor's program...


This college gave the parents the option to write a letter of recommendation for their child.  How awesome is that!  So of course I did just that and this is what I wrote...

What a nice surprise to receive your letter asking us to help contribute to Julia’s college application process!  We would be more than happy to help describe some of Julia’s unique and special qualities and how she would be an asset to Saint Anselm.

As her parents, of course we could go on and on about what a lovely, kind and overall beautiful human being our daughter is, but she simply is the epidemy of what we would call the ideal daughter.  She is very responsible and trustworthy.  She demonstrates this daily with her ability to multitask.  She has a challenging school curriculum, works part-time at a local grocery store and as a babysitter, is a member of a competitive acrobatic/dance team that practices over ten hours a week, and yet she still has time for fun with her family and friends.

Julia always shows such love and kindness toward others. Before the pandemic hit, she looked forward to volunteer opportunities in our community such as working at fundraisers for our town’s food pantry, serving meals at a local soup kitchen and volunteering at school in the Best Pals program.  She really has a desire and willingness to help others.  Julia is looking forward to getting involved in a college community and seeking out opportunities to volunteer again.  

Julia is excited to start classes in nursing. She dreams of a career as a neonatal nurse at Boston Children’s Hospital one day.  Knowing Julia, she will make that happen!

At the end of the day, we are most proud of Julia’s integrity. She takes pride in everything she does. Julia would be a tremendous asset to Saint Anselm. Not only as a hard-working student, but also as a leader and a good friend to all. 

Thank you again for this opportunity to share our pride in Julia.
