Allow me to present to you a different train of thought. Perhaps you can take a path similar to the one I took. I was once like you, rejected by my dream school. I worked very hard and eventually not only did i get in, but i was even offered a position among the staff there. As you have probably already guessed i was referring to the one and only smogon university. However, about 5 years ago I made the decision to leave smogon and just school/education in general and decided to spend the remainder of my days on this luscious and fertile world just travelling and exploring its many lands and corners. It has helped me grow as a human being and I have made many friends of different sizes and types along the way. There is good money in it too if you are a winner in every battle you strive for in this life. Maybe someday when I have seen enough and captured all this world has to offer I will retire. Perhaps I'll meet a pretty lady and settle down, who knows. All I know is that there is more to this world than what these prestigious schools have to offer. Its not the end of the world if you do not get in. There is a lot of magic in this world, we just have to find it, and at times we have to create our own magic as well.
Now I just drop by this prestigious university to say hi to the great friends and colleagues i made back in my younger years whenever I am in this region. I pretty much really only come back to this region just so I can say hi to my mom and see how she is doing, of course I dont do this often because for some reason my mom always asks me about money and tries to pay me back the money I've sent her during my journeys. It doesn't matter how many times I tell her that its a gift from her son for all she's ever done for me. Anyway, now I'm just getting off topic. But yes, perhaps it was destiny that I drop by the school at this specific time because I was able to see your concern on not being accepted into this school and had the opportunity to tell you all this. I wish you luck in whatever it is you choose to pursue in this world. I have a funny feeling that your very own pokemon journey is just about to begin. Now tell me, what was your name again? ;)
