Favorite Quote:
Once I saw a quote in a magazine that said "If I fly or if I fall, at least I can say I gave it all.." It helped me because I was having trouble finding myself. I taped it up in my locker for 3 yrs.


It’s basically defines you
Will you go?
Will you pass?
Will you succeed?
You don’t know
You worry
You stress
You suffer
But yet you push
Push yourself
Push others
You will succeed
You will pass
You will graduate

They act like college defines you
They act like you need to to
To pass
To succeed
But yet they don’t know
They worry
They stress
They suffer
They push
Push you
Push others
They want you to succeed
They NEED you to succeed
If you don’t graduate
Then what?

College isn't everything
Sure it may define your future
But don’t stress
You’ll be fine
The reason they want you to go to college
Is for them
Not you
Not only will it help your future
But theirs
“Get a good job”
“Make lots of money”
Overall
Just do what you want
Not what they want
Be yourself
Be unique
Go to college
Don’t go to college
You choose
You decide
You succeed

This isn't my best work, but I just wanted to post it because it still means a lot.
