I sent one of my best friends a message on the day I accepted the offer of admissions.

I said, "Morning, friend. I just wanted to let you know I have made an oficial decision for schooling next year. It may come as a disappointment, but not a surprise that I'll be going to ACADIA!!!!"

The response I received was exactly the confirmation I needed to hear. "I will miss you, however, I am confident that the choice you made was the correct one. Congrats annie!!"

I know it was the right decision. I'm blessed and appreciative of my time at St. Thomas University, and I am equally excited and enthused to be a student at Acadia University.

Acadia has been so wonderful to me. They have sent me countless e-mails reminding me to apply, they met with me last year at this time to help me choose courses for the fourth year at STU, they answered all of my questions, and called me on a Friday night to inform me of my acceptance. They invited me to an informative open house last Wednesday, and forced encouraged me to get to know my future classmates. They empowered me, making me realize just how important and influential teachers can be, and encouraged me by saying that there is in fact employment opportunities for teachers in Nova Scotia. They made every part of the application process important, and they looked upon each one of us as gold into which they were ready to invest time and knowledge. I wont merely be getting an Education degree, I will be getting educated, and equipped to educate.
