⚡️Viral Harvard Acceptance Reaction
Many of you commented that my reaction to Azizbek's acceptance was totally unhinged—ahah, fair enough!
But behind each acceptance I celebrate, I have seen hundreds of rejections, broken dreams, and sleepless nights.
Admissions field is brutal and humbling. It's a rat race. It's painful and anxiety-filled for my students and me by extension.
Even after previous Ivy acceptances, each one remains special. I will never take them for granted. Working with our students, I witness them vulnerable, confused, and hopeful.
They become like my siblings, with all its good and bad. Knowing what it takes, I have to put a ton of pressure on them. It's not always easy, and they may not like me for it in the moment. But that's what they need to grow.
When you watch the video, remember: selective acceptances are an exception, not a rule. For each successful case, there are tears and broken dreams of thousands of deserving students who did not make it.
And yet, even a tiny chance of changing one's life is worth the risk.
