Many people want to go there,
and it's drilled in their minds
that it's an importance to life.
So, they do their best to impress them. they learn things that are unimportant, they slave over the computer, and pay a ton of money with no guarantee if they will be acknowledge as the chosen one.
when you get there, they are not concerned about you or what you do. Only the amount of money that is waved in their face. You pick a specific area to study, even though the demand is extremely low for that calling. Eventually, you waste four years of your life, walk across a stage, and you are promised a job you never see.


The author's comments:
Brittany describes the devastating reality that many people are experiencing today. The strategies that she uses are specific details, hyperbole, and sequential order. She uses these to paint a picture, for her readers to understand why many people graduate from college and do not have a job to go to. She uses a story like poem to put her readers into the shoes of the unfortunate. She first begins to explain why people want to go to college, what they do while they are there. and their outcome when they leave. Although, she realizes this is not everyone's future, she uses this poem to inform her readers about the social and economic issues that are in the word today.
