Power Brunch 2021

Sajini K., a Susan E. Wagner High School volunteer, shares how GG National’s Power Brunch event in January helped her with her college application process.

As a senior in high school who has applied to many colleges and scholarships, the phrase “if it is meant to be, it will be” is one that I have heard way too often. However, with my heart set out on several universities, and my need for the financial assistance the scholarships offer, the idea of rejection scares me dearly. Yet after attending the Power Brunch, this fear I held had somewhat calmed down. I began to better understand the meaning behind “if it is meant to be, it will be,” and I slowly uncovered the truth that so many people struggle to see. The truth is that minor setbacks today have little significance in the future. The Power Brunch prepared me for the events that may happen in the upcoming weeks, but with that said - “fingers-crossed” that I do get accepted to my top choice!
