The second group I attended was the Kentucky House of Representative Candidates Forum for house districts: 7, 11, 12, 13, and 14. This group was attended by me via online and took place on campus at Brescia University in Owensboro Kentucky. The Candidates Forum was held on Monday October 17 from 7:00pm-8:30pm CDT.

Although my rejection to Morehead State University was no surprise, due to my previous college standings, I was highly disappointed. In hopes of a better outcome after sending my final transcripts for the spring term of 2017, I shortly received my news of rejection.   Although I respect the decision of my rejection to the university, I am presenting you with this appeal in hopes of your reconsideration of my application.   I am interested in pursuing my college career at MSU for many reasons.
