Is senior homecoming queen an appropriate accomplishment for colleges to be aware of after transcipts and letters have already gone out? I don’t think so, but I have a parent sending a picture of her daughter with a tiara waving to the crowd in the town thanksgiving day parade to every school she’s applying to.
My response: “Well some colleges appreciate humor, some don’t”. I was pretty blunt about how popularity and good looks mean little in the college admissions game, although I can see how important it must be for her daughter in high school. However, they were insistent it spoke ‘volumes’. I ended the conversation by telling them they can send whatever they want to colleges but nothing else is coming from this office except academic accomplishments/hardships, worthwhile extracurricular activities, and valuable personality traits.
They can send the tiara picture, but it’s not coming from my desk.
it’s not easy being beautiful.
western rebel, i agree. personally i think my stunning good looks has been my biggest hardship and has definitely affected my academic performance and involvement in extracurriculars
She looks so pretty. I’d accept her if I had a college.
i think perhaps the sarcasm didn’t come through on my post.
Good call. These parents are embarrassing their daughter.
hmm, i might disagree here. i think it says as much about a person, actually, as hardships do.
i still have mine (http://www.tiaratown.com/m651.htm)and it’s made me everything i am today.
on second thought, perhaps i misjudged. after watching some after school programming on MTV I think perhaps homecoming queen is THE MOST important thing a woman can accomplish. well, besides being really skinny and slutty.
Good for you! That is just beyond your call of duty. Thank goodness.
