Do you remember the ice cream truck?

The really cool one?

The one that only the most popular kids bought from?

You always wanted to get some, but your parents would say no.

The rest of that day,

You'd think about that ice cream truck-

How it just drove away,

Didn't wait for you.

Remember that group of kids?

The one that everyone knew?

The one that you really wanted to talk to?

You were always to embarrassed to approach them.

The rest of that week,

You'd think about that group of kids-

How you almost asked to play with them,

But they ran off before you could.

Remember that class?

The one that everyone loved?

The one that you couldn't understand?

You were the only one who didn't know the answers.

For the rest of that year,

You'd think about that moment-

The moment that you almost asked for help,

But the class moved on before you raised your hand.

Remember that chance?

The one that could change your life?

The one that hasn't appeared yet?

Take it.

For the rest of your life,

You can either regret that decision,

Or you can be grateful that you took a risk.

So don't get left behind-

Take the chance.
