The 17-year-old was undergoing chemotherapy when she opened the email from her first choice school, Virginia Tech.
"We just found out in December that she had a tumor in her upper arm, osteosarcoma," said Jacquelyn Harter, Bogon's mom. "She started treatment pretty quickly at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia."
"It's put a damper on her senior year, but she's just got an amazing spirit," she said. "She's a positive kid. I'm amazed by her every day."Bogon hopes that her triumph inspires others. "When people watch it, I hope they realize that even if you're going through something, there are always positive things to look forward to," she said. "There are always better things that can come."Ironically, she was watching the Virginia Tech softball game when the email came through. Harter said it's a sport that Bogon loves, but sadly, can no longer play due to her condition.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
