Two weeks later...
"Moooooooom! Daaaaaaaaad!" She screamed as she was reading an email on her MacBook in the living room while they're watching a Netflix movie.
Her parents were both startled, spilling soda and pop corn on the couch.
"What?" Her mother asked, worried.
"What's wrong?" Her father asked and grabbed the controller to pause the Netflix movie they're watching.
Her dolly eyes were in tears when she turned her MacBook and showed them the email from Pearsons University!
Their eyes were glued to the bright screen as her father holds his eyeglasses close to his eyes while reading. Both of them murmuring as they read...

Her parents jumped out of the couch and hugged her. They were all ecstatic to learn about the news.
"I know you'd make it! You're the brightest kid in this neighborhood!" Augustus proudly said as he wipes the side of his eyes while smiling widely at her.

"I'd like her to have her place where we can visit her anytime and stay overnight sometimes." Her father interrupted.
"Oh! That must be pretty expensive to rent a whole apartment." Her mother said, being a typical frugal mother she is.
"I'm prepared for this. Our daughter is going to college. You think I didn't think of saving up for it?" Her father said to her mother, sounding proud of his savings.
"Really, honey?" Her mother said, looking so happy. "I knew I made the best choice marrying you!"
