When her parents told her that she was sure to get the scholarship, she knew she wouldn't.
When she was filling out the forms, she knew it didn't matter since she wasn't going to be picked.
When her career advisor was quietly confident, she knew there would be better candidates to choose from.
When she got the letter, she knew, before she opened it, that it would be a rejection letter.
When she opened it, and saw she'd been rejected due to incomplete paperwork, she knew that was a mistake.
It motivated her more than acceptance or rejection ever would.
