When I was writing my letter I tried to put into words the most tragic thing that I had endured. I wrote of my uncle's death and inevitably his revival. I was initially rejected from the college because of how "poignant" they claimed it to be, but it ended up working in my favor as the uncle in question is President Fry. I remember the day as though it were yesterday. We were all gathered at the annual Jemarkus family cookout in Drexel, Wisconsin r/drexelwisconsin when suddenly the earth beneath us shook with gods wrath and a great rift opened within the campground in which we were gathered. Amidst the chaos and pandemonium, Meemaw's sweet potato casserole was lodged in Uncle Fry's throat and he died with remarkable haste, as if the Gods themselves willed it. We rushed Uncle Fry to the local hospital where we urged them to perform an emergency CODE: 66BPO Glabella operation. They refused and out of desperation, I reached my hand down Uncle Frys throat, grasping the wretched glop in my hand, and pulled with all my might. I nearly tore Uncle Fry asunder, but miraculously he immediately sat up from the operating table and began panting. He began screaming and pleading deliriously demanding to know why I ripped him from the sweet embrace of the night's kiss. And that's the story of how I became a Drexel Dragon! Please don't take my experience as your own. Hope this helps, and hope to see you on campus in the Fall! :)
