" This is truly getting ridiculous. I&amp;#039;m trying my best to be a good well rounded college student, but no one wants to accept me into their organization! Hi, my name is Ashley and I&amp;#039;m a college reject. No, I didn&amp;#039;t get rejected from college - I got in one of the top universities in the country (I will blog about how I got in Stanford in the coming weeks). I am a reject in the sense that I can&amp;#039;t even make it into the campus women business club. I didn&amp;#039;t make a dance team. I didn&amp;#039;t get a job to work for admissions during admit weekend. I didn&amp;#039;t get a position for the upcoming campus fashion show.  This is not a blog to be down about myself. I am very confident and when something doesn&amp;#039;t work out I see it as an opening for a future opportunity. After all of these rejections, I&amp;#039;ve actually gotten an opportunity of a lifetime, but I won&amp;#039;t blog about it until after it happens (sorry it&amp;#039;s super secret!) Anyway, I made this blog to show readers that even someone as driven and ambitious as me can face rejection, disappointment, and flat out not getting my way. It happens and then, guess what--life goes on! It&amp;#039;s important to be secure with your skills, abilities, and character so that when failure comes, it does not completely devastate you.  If you keep going for what you&amp;#039;re passionate about despite the occasional failure, then you really have got the point of what it means to actually succeed. I bet you all didn&amp;#039;t know that the founder of Apple, Steve Jobs, got fired from a job before launching Apple. What if he gave up? I&amp;#039;m just glad he didn&amp;#039;t because then I wouldn&amp;#039;t be typing on my Macbook Pro and listening to my iPod!  Until next time ladies... P.S. I love getting the emails with questions, keep them coming! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
