Seniors celebrate college acceptance with #ReachHigher
If your family has a child waiting on an acceptance letter, you are all too familiar with the emotional roller coaster that comes with the application process. Tears are shed and sleep is lost but eventually you hear that celebratory shriek following the rip of an envelope that makes the ride worthwhile.
Friday, May 1st was officially dubbed "College Signing Day" by the first lady to push higher education to the forefront for all high school students. The posts of gleeful excitement from kids across America who have ripped open their acceptance letters and made their college decision have been rolling in with the hashtag #ReachHigher in line with FLOTUS' campaign.
