Your self-worth is not stored in a test score. It’s in your kindness, your weird hobbies, your ability to make your friends laugh. The SAT result is just a tool—a pretty important one, sure—but it’s not the whole toolbox.
When the day finally arrives, take a deep breath. Click the link. Look at the number. Then, put down the phone, go outside, and hug someone who loves you. That’s the real victory.
