What Makes Me Happy, You Say?

What makes me happy, you say? 

The bright sunshine on a refreshing summer day.

Going out on the weekend with money to spend,

When my single mother doesn't have to chip in.

 

What makes me happy, you say? 

Going to school and learning something new everyday. 

Not having to pay for my primary education is the best part,

Because other places in the world have to pay, like putting math and reading in a shopping cart. 

 

What makes me happy, you say?

Finding out that 4.1 was my weighted GPA. 

My class rank is 79 out of 410 future changes of the world, 

And graduation is near but the last thing on my mind is "Hair, would you like to be straight or curled?"

 

So, what makes me happy, you say? 

My future makes me happy, to put it in a simpler way. 

Getting a job, passing senior year with flying colors, and changing the world after gradution, 

Is my way of setting a happy foundation!
