My path to a wonderful college

Thu, 08/13/2015 - 18:18 -- Lexus3h

I'm standing in the middle with multiple paths at my side.

How am I supposed to know where to go?

I just pick a path that seems to be more like a dream rather than reality.

Sometimes the exit is as clear as day, but then there are times when the fog blocks my view and I

start panicking and in the process I trip and I keep tripping but then the fog clears up again then it

comes back and I trip multiple more times and then I just lay there reaching out to the exit, wondering

was I even supposed to go this way?

Where there have been a path with less fog?

Less rocks?

Maybe an easier and yet faster path?

So I try and ask for help but my ears are to clogged up to hear and my eyes to fogged up to see

and I know my teacher is next to me on this journey, but how do I get the answer from him?

Wouldn't that be cheating?

If so, I don't know if there's a way to pass this test.

Should I keep going or should I go back and start a new path?

I'm afraid if I step back it would be harder for me to step forward.

I'd feel like all of the tripping and reaching out was for nothing.

So I'm standing here close to the exit, but there's a mountain in my path, a mountain that seems

impossible to pass.

So would it be easier to climb that mountain or should I take some steps back and start a new path?

I feel like the older I get the more rocks stand in m path.

If only this test were easy.
