'I am Jazz': Harvard University or Pomona College, Jazz reveals why she is confused about her options
Jazz Jennings is all set to take a big step in her life as she is ready to step into college. However, that decision seems to be a tough one for her as she is forced to choose between two great colleges.
One of the colleges that Jazz cracked was Harvard University. The prestigious Ivy League college welcomed Jazz with open arms but her wishes seem to be inclined towards another college.
Jazz reveals that she had been accepted into Pomona college and was more interested in going there. Talking to her sister, Ari Jennings, she explained that once she laid her eyes on Pomona, there was something that she was drawn towards. She further explained that it made her feel like she would feel comfortable there.
Jazz also mentioned how people on social media thought that the only reason she got into Harvard was that she was a transgender. She did not want people to think that she had some sort of advantage over others just because she was a transgender. Ari advised her to not make a decision based on what people were saying.
Speaking to the camera, Ari explains that she wanted Jazz to make her own decision, but a wise one. Meanwhile, Jazz's parents were all onboard about Jazz going to Harvard. They thought it was one of the best colleges for her to go to. However, Greg Jennings understood that the decision was crucial for her because she identified as transgender.
Greg thought that it is important for Jazz to choose a place that would make her feel good about herself as she had to spend a lot of time at whatever college she chooses to go. While Jazz understood why her parents wanted her to go to Harvard, she didn't know if it would be the right fit for her.
With the deadline fast approaching, Jazz asked her parents if they would be disappointed if she didn't choose Harvard. Jazz's mother responds saying that she always thought that Jazz would go to an Ivy League if she had a chance and with their fee being the same. She also thought that Harvard would bring in more value.
Jazz eventually decides to hold her decision until she had visited Harvard. She resolves to visit the university during her next visit to New York for her doctor's appointment.
'I am Jazz' airs on Tuesdays at 9 pm ET on TLC.
