Don't count your chickens before they have hatched...

The question is: Why are you nervous? Did you do the best YOU could do? Do you just have a few "butterflies" or are you ready to take some "Paxil"? Why one vs the other? And even if someone else was chosen, SO WHAT? Is it the end of the world? Can you apply the next time? And if so, how do YOU know that those other applicants did not feel similarly or reapplied constantly? The question is: What were YOUR TRUE reasons for applying for this scholarship? Because, if your true reasons were honorable and scholarly, you would have minimal reason to be nervous, but you would have congratulatory humility if someone else was chosen...

Really, does your entire life "revolve" around getting this scholarship? Because, I can imagine, if my UNDERGRAD Sorors are giving money--they really worked hard to even DONATE to GIVE a scholarship!!! And to me, if I were in your shoes, I would be merely honored that I applied and proud that group of young African American women in a Sorority were able to organized and command such a thing!!! And if it were me, I would ask how I could donate to help their cause...

disclaimer But that's just me and is independent of the ideals of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and my Sorors--but I skeriousssly doubt it...
