In the middle of celebrating the ACET results, many of my friends and colleagues chided me with, "Was there ever any doubt that Socorro would get in?" To this, I would reply, "There was no doubt, but there was fear."
Sh*t happens. I've seen it happen many times. To swagger with overconfidence is to invite karma to suckerpunch the wind out of you. Socorro prepared as best she could and I knew her chances were better than good. That said, a little fear keeps you humble and makes you regard these achievements as the blessings they truly are.
Next up: QPI.
