Wonderful News! Grandson Isaiah Accepted to Princeton

Hello Isaiah,

Your dad just told me that you were accepted at Princeton. What glorious news!! You've worked hard to get to this point and now exciting new doors will open for you. And there you were somewhere on the outer reaches of Ireland to learn the news. Hope you find a way to celebrate!

Nana and I would like to give you a present for this honor and achievement. How about a new laptop? We'll buy the one you want/need for Princeton whenever you want/need it, either now or closer to when you enter Princeton. Think about what you want, either PC or Mac, whichever will suit you best there.

Just let me know what you want and when.

I am very proud of you, Isaiah, because you have been diligent and worked hard at whatever you've tackled. God gifted you with intelligence and you are self-disciplined to use it wisely. Now you have the opportunity to enter a whole new realm of possibilities.

Congratulations,

Grampy

Important coda:

"Princeton also prides itself on ensuring economic diversity within our
student body. To do this, the University admits undergraduate students without
regard to their family financial circumstances and provides 100 percent of
determined need. Since the 2001-02 academic year, no Princeton aid student,
domestic or international, has been required to take out a loan to pay for his
or her education."
