As senior year starts, a lot starts happening very quickly. Everyone rushes to get their applications in, and many start to get their college acceptance letters.  Seniors Lauren Raab and Nicole Sanchez have both been accepted into FAU, and are the first of the senior class to do so.

Achona: “What were you feeling prior to opening your letter/email?” 

Lauren Raab: “My dad surprised me so I didn’t know I was about to get the acceptance email.”

Achona: “What way did you find out?”

Lauren Raab: “My dad was telling me to check my email and my email wasn’t working so he decided to pull out his phone and show me the acceptance email.”

Achona: “How do you feel about your high school classes now?” 

Lauren Raab: “I feel like it is important that I keep my grades up so I don’t get my acceptance taken away.”

Achona: “Do you see yourself enjoying attending this college?” 

Lauren Raab: “Yes because I visited the campus and it’s the perfect size for me; not too big and not too small.”

Achona: “How did you feel when you found out you were the first senior to get accepted into a college?”
