WHAT?!?!

Ok so as most of you know, Zac has been trying to get into the nursing program for YEARS. The program at UVU is SO competitive, and they only accept 60 (out of hundreds and HUNDREDS) students at a time. It's crazy. Zac has excellent grades and does well on the tests. It feels impossible to get in.Last year about this time, he applied to a program we thought would be just perfect for us. A rare chance to get his RN degree FROM HOME! It was an online nursing program through Weber State University. He would have to drive to Weber periodically throughout the semester for clinicals and tests and things, but that's it. Well, we got a letter from them shortly after we applied saying, "Sorry, there was not enough interest in this program. If you are interested in being considered for this program next year, please sign and return the enclosed form." So he did.In the meantime, he applied to and was denied from UVU twice.So he decides no more nursing school. It's too hard. He was taking and re-taking classes over and over to compete for spots he was losing by FRACTIONS of a point. So, we move to Orem and he changes his major and gets all excited about being in the BIOTECHNOLOGY program at UVU. I was excited too! He was already in, no competing, and it seemed to be something he would really like.
Lo and behold, what do we get when we open our mailbox today?Yep. He's been accepted to Weber State's nursing program. As soon as we call it quits, he gets in! Why didn't we give up 2 years ago?! LOL Oh my heck what do we do? He's already got his mind set toward a biotech degree, and now this.
Me, I'm giddy. I have felt like school will NEVER be over. Now we are on the road to something, Go Zac! Go Wildcats! YAY!
