Rejection wall returns this year

It’s that time of the year: Colleges are accepting or rejecting seniors, leading to joy for some and disappointment for others. 

On the front counter in the main office, the ASB has again put up a college rejection wall. Students now have the option of posting their college rejection letters either anonymously or with their names on them. 

The rejection wall was first implemented by last year’s ASB, and the idea received positive feedback. 

“We hope to create a sense of unity in the face of rejection because with college decisions, a lot of negativity and isolation can come about,” ASB head commissioner Stephanie Chu said.  

The ASB has received some rejection letters, but hopes for more.

“We expect to have many more rejection letters come very soon,” Chu said. 

Principal Paul Robinson said that for some students, the rejection wall can be a way to take a positive lesson from a negative event. 

“Some students found it very therapeutic to know that others do have similar experiences,” Robinson said. “We have all had rejection letters of some form or another in our lifetime.”
