Determined

Fri, 06/14/2013 - 14:21 -- jean013

As life goes on I wonder,
I wonder if I have anything to offer
What will I ever accomplish in life?
Will I make it in todays society?
Believe in yourself child, you can do what you want to do,
So they say,
So I've heard,
But can I make it?
Can I really do what I put my mind to?
Or am I getting false hope.
Well I really don't know.
All I know is I will try,
I will try to go on in life with my head held high,
Because if I don't then how could I begin to ask why
why didn't an African American girl life me not make it?
Because then all ill hear is, you never tried.
I don't plan to fail in life so that's why I plan to attend a college.
College will be my key to success and from then on I will never stop learning and growing.
Life is a never ending battle between yourself and the society your in.
Right now I'm in a place where I need to make it out.
So I stop wondering and begin my dream to become what I've always wanted to.
I will make it because I am determined.
