As Iola High School senior Allie Fager sat down to do her homework on a Thursday evening earlier this month, she decided to check one more time to see if she had been selected to attend Creighton University.
She logged on to an online portal and discovered her dream had come true. Shed been accepted for an early decision to attend Creighton, in Omaha, Neb.
She immediately called her mother, Jo, who at that moment was in Kansas City.
Oh my goodness! her mother exclaimed, and seconds later added, I just yelled that out in Starbucks. The barista says congratulations.
