What a glorious day this is! It seems nothing can dampen my effervescent joy and attitude! Great news has been received today at the Blackwell household! The mail has just arrived, and strangely there was one addressed to my name, Miss Elizabeth Blackwell. What is more surprising is the mail was sent from Geneva Medical College in New York , which has always been my dream school! What this could possibly be regarding you may wonder, but I was wondering just the exact same. My family gathered around, as I questioningly ripped it open. Right when I took out the letter, my eyes immediately started scanning the whole note while my family anxiously waited to hear of what the letter enclosed. The news was just incredible and unbelievable, I must say. My jaw dropped open as my whole rigid body accepted the fact that I have been accepted as a student to the prestigious college! Yes! I know! Shocking, you dare say, right? Earlier I had actually applied to countless medical schools, but 29 of them had rejected me before I was finally accepted to Geneva Medical College . Honestly, I do not even know how they accepted me. Numerous questions are actually running through my mind at the moment and not my family or I even have one answer to these wild questions. I feel as if someone is trying to pull a prank on me yet, I feel as if I should deserve the honor to be accepted in this esteemed college for I have struggled and worked just as hard as any other man has. If I learn soon that my acceptance has been all okay, the fury I will feel would be indescribable. Also, I know with all my heart and soul that I am capable and intelligent enough to be able to comprehend and succeed as a medical doctor. I know my abilities and maybe I can even be the first to earn a medical degree. Do not under estimate me, and let me prove to you the woman that I as well as others can be!
Here it even is for those of you whom do not believe me:
