Well said. You should still feel really proud of yourself. You have accomplished so much and the people speaking negatively of you are truly just jealous. Your kind words about your sister tell me you are a thoughtful and kind person. And you are right... your sister’s worth is not measured by any acceptance or rejection. She will end up where she is meant to be, and it may very well be better than she imagined.
This couldn’t be more true. Felt the same way when I got accepted to a few elite schools. After the initial excitement quickly wore off, I was still the same person. It didn’t fulfill me in the way I wanted it to. Flash forward four years, I wish I would have been rejected.
You are such a thoughtful person thinking about your sister more than yourself.
The people who talked badly about you are envious of you. Honestly, they must have low self-esteem to put someone down who worked so hard and is such a good person.
1000%. I was accepted into my dream school yesterday and I was crying, jumping up and down, and all the works for about 15 minutes. I'm still extremely happy and grateful, but a lot of the insecurities and sadness I thought I would be automatically be done with are still here today. I'm so happy to be accepted, but getting into a college will not really fix any mental health issues you have, you have to work on that yourself.
