Good News is always worth waiting for. We just heard that our daughter, Wellesley, will receive a Georgetown Scholars’ at George Washington Hospital Scholarship to attend the university’s nursing school.

We originally had been promised an answer to her application for the scholarship by last Wednesday, but the school at the last moment decided to delay final decisions until today. Then, with less finesse than Ryan Seacrest announcing who got the fewest votes, they waited until the very last moment today to notify applicants less than a hour ago of the committee’s selections. The scholarship provides an 80 percent tuition credit in exchange for a commitment to work at the hospital for three years. That’s a guaranteed job upon graduation AND more than $62,000 tuition assistance. Sounds like a Happy Meal for parents.
Our thanks to all of you that wrote with words of encouragement. We truly appreciate you sharing in our joy.
