When I got the email, I was in the school's crowded computer lab. The email had the director's name under the "From" and had "Specialist Program" in the subject area. I knew it was the decision because I had been told at the interview that we would be receiving the decision in a email that day with the official letters soon to follow. As soon as I saw the email, I said "Oh my gosh!" out loud. I sat there for about 5 minutes staring and trying to lower my heart rate...it didn't work. I finally opened the email while saying "please, please, please..." to myself. The first thing I saw was "Congratulations!" I gasped really loud, grabbed my heart, and scared the girl next to me. I'm glad the email didn't continue by saying "Congratulations, you have not be selected!" or I would have been really embarrassed!
