I'm sorry she did not get her first choice, but I am a firm believer that it was for a reason, and it sounds like VMI is a perfect fit. I am so glad you posed the question here as it opened the door to the path she is now on. Good for her and congratulations.
Funny story - we have five kids, all born in less than eight year's time. When they were little I shopped at Goodwill a lot for play clothes - you know, just cheap stuff they could trash & I wasn't worried about ruining.
We had never heard of VMI until this past November....a whirlwind application, appointment and overnight visit....she felt so at home there.
Imagine my surprise when my youngest son pulled out an old hoodie....with the VMI logo on it.
Must have bought it about 10 years ago. Think all five kids wore that. It was just a good hoodie, bought for a buck or two for kids to get muddy in.
We're big believers in signs. That's a good one
