So, for those of you that read my college essay about dealing with bipolar disorder and PTSD, I posted that a while back, I wanted to let you guys know that the colleges I appllied to loved it! a couple even emailed me about it and wrote personalized notes saying they admired my strength and I ended up getting full tuition scholarships to three universities which is very exciting but I wanted to say my thanks to all of you guys because this community has helped me a lot and I wanted to remind everyone on here of the strength and courage they have inside of them, the power that you all possess to be more empathetic towards other people and understand those who are often misunderstood. never settle for an average life because everyone here has the potential to be great, all the persevernce (I'm aware how bad my spelling is lol) that you have built up throughout your life is an accomplishment that each and every one of you should be proud of, and If no one has told you, I'm proud of you :) so that's the good news update and thank you again to everyone on here for their kind comments and support, I will continue to update you all on my senior year and such

- best wishes, Lorilei
