I was really excited when I opened the letter. It was from the university I had applied to. My hands trembled as I unfolded the paper, revealing the acceptance letter. "Congratulations!" it began. I could hardly believe it—I was accepted into my dream school. The hard work and countless sleepless nights had paid off. I ran to tell my parents, who embraced me with joy and pride. That evening, we celebrated with a special dinner. As I lay in bed that night, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness for the journey ahead, but mostly, I felt ready.
