"Baby I'm so proud of you!" My dad said hugging me while I jump up and down happily while I read the paper:

Miss Avery Westbrook It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Committee on Admissions has voted to accept your application for admission to Columbia University. I am happy to offer you a place in the first-year class for the fall of 2017.
"Omg dad I'm going to attend a Ivy League university"
"Av bear I know your mom is smiling down in heaven right now and baby you don't know how proud I am to call u my daughter your so strong after your mom death you still continue to work hard and graduate top of class so baby step out side and see what I got for you" dad said crying
Tears felled down my check as I watched my dad poured his heart out. Ever since mom died I focused on just school work because I know that's what she wanted me to do. Mom died when I was only 16 and dad and my big brother Michael tried to move it but it was to hard for us. It's two year later and we just try to shut that part of are life down but when moments like this happen it comes out.
I walked outside seeing Michael in a G-wagon with a bright big bow on top. "I'm so proud of you AV" Michael said stepping out the card pulling me into a hug. "Thanks mike I love you" " I love you to sis" "You like your new car" dad said coming out the house. "I love it so much" I said getting in the driver seat. "Take it for a spin sis" "Get in then"
We drove all night admiring my new whip. "Yo that shit nice son"Michael said "Thanks daddy" "You welcome sweetie if your brother would stop playing in college he would get one too" "Mann dad anit nobody playing that teacher don't like me" Michael said
We reached the house around 11pm and Michael went back to the dorm. Dad fell asleep on the couch to tired to go in his bed and went to my room to pack up some clothes. So I checked my Instagram and ppl were blowing me up asking me did I get in.

I posted it to my 5k followers. I smiled as I watched my friends comment under my picture showing me love. After a hour of packing some of my clothes up I collapsed on my back and drifted to sleep.
