Wishful Thinking
Location
For years I've stood longing,
waiting just outside the door,
hoping for an education,
dreaming of something more.
I want to work for Google,
as a software engineer,
despite my families doubts,
and lack of supportive cheer.
I've paid my first semester,
putting my savings on the line,
without any help or support,
I hope that a degree will be mine.
I don't know how I will pay,
for my education past this year,
for me that presents a challenge,
a realistic financial fear.
So now I enter scholarships,
hoping that I will find,
finances to help pave my future,
so that my dream is not declined.
