It was my brother's birthday today, so I called him to wish him a happy birthday. Somehow we got to the topic of volunteering at the Humane Society.

I had applied on or around September 1st and received an email a couple weeks later about the short-answer essay questions.

The email stated that applicants should treat these questions as college entrance essays...ummm....I'm in middle school; how am I supposed to know how to write a college entrance essay?

So, I left my application as it was (thinking it was rediculous how they wanted us to apply) and I had already accepted the fact that I probably wouldn't be chosen as there are limited spots in the Teen Club.

Anyways, I got an email today that said I was accepted!! It starts October 6th.

I'm so excited.
