My Great Perhaps
Location
When I think of a great perhaps,
I think of a new beginning.
What’s going to become of me?
What is in my future?
Is it the best I can possibly achieve in life?
I actually am not quite sure about my great
perhaps.
Seeings how it hasn't actually come to pass!
I have two directions.
I want to travel in my life.
The date is 2015.
I am a junior.
At Cornerstone University.
I am choosing my actual major.
I have been torn between two passions.
To be a doctor.
Or be a teacher.
I choose Pre-Med.
I struggle through.
Twelve long expensive years of school.
Finally at age 30.
I graduate.
I am a doctor.
I make enough money.
However, my college debt still remains.
I marry my boyfriend.
But there’s no time for family.
I go on fun vacations with him.
Whenever I am not too busy.
Have I achieved my great perhaps?
The date is 2015.
I am a junior.
At Cornerstone University.
I am choosing my actual major.
I have been torn between two passions.
To be a doctor.
Or be a teacher.
I choose teacher.
I only had to complete four years at Cornerstone.
Leaving me to start.
Paying off my student loans.
Instead of adding more and more.
I marry my boyfriend.
I have a son.
I name him Michael.
I teach children.
something I love to do.
I don’t make as much money as I’d like.
In fact I’m barely getting by.
However, I spend my time with family and my students.
Just a few years out of college.
I am successful.
And happy.
And still young.
I have achieved my great perhaps.
