Coleman Ruiz

Well, the wrestling coach called me a couple of weeks after my no, which is now in May.

I'm about to graduate from high school.

I'm not accepted anywhere.

You only applied one place.

Actually, two, which you may bust out laughing when I tell you what the other one is because no internet.

I got a mailer in a pamphlet from Stanford, the wrestling coach.

I didn't know what Stanford was.

I had no idea that the college was even prestigious.

I didn't know they had a wrestling team.

I filled out the application and wrote the letter thing, and I sent it into Stanford and, of course, never heard back from them.

But I applied to two places, Stanford and the U.S.

Naval Academy.

It's amazing.

So the coach, back to how I ended up getting in, I appreciated my college coach called and he said, I'm recruiting.

I have one more spot at the prep school, which is in Newport, Rhode Island.

I'm recruiting another kid from Pennsylvania.

If he takes that spot, then I don't have anything left.

And we were exploring going to prep school and stuff like that, oblique ways to get in.

And he called me sometime in May, like right around graduation, and said, can you be in Newport in July?

That kid went to, I think he went to Lehigh.
