Dear, Worried Senior Applying To College,
Going to college isn’t a requirement
Going to college is most definitely a privilege
Going to college is a privilege
I believe all Kids Should partake in
I am drowning amidst a sea of inquiry.
What's catch me off guard,
disrupting my central balance.
Where's make my head resemble a carousel,
spinning round and round.
Some days I wake up wishing I was still asleep
Hoping that it's all just a dream
Stress envelops me like a newborn in mom's arms
And it slowly whispers its promise to me
'Till Death Do Us Part
I am filled with lost hopes and dreams
and confusing words, lines, pages
what does this mean?
I'm still in the process of adding words
still trying to figure out this thing called "Life"
From day one I've had goals
Goals thought to be immposible even by myself
Some I have acheived
Others i've yet to even percieve
Along with these aspirations I've come along a great deal of stress
Responsibility is just more stress.
Carefree lives replaced with obligations,
As life passes we all look for success.
College is coming up like the stuff that bubbles up
From volcanoes in places I've never been to
Will I like it? Will it be good?
I'm kind of scared.
Is it normal to dread the final day of my high school existence?
Is it normal to be intimidated not excited by my approaching college enrollment?
For twelve years I have focused completely on my goal of a college education.
The student prepares for college
Searching for a school with a perfect fit
The journey has already started
leaving his parents, the boy becomes a man
Click, click goes the mouse on the computer
Transitions are hard
from many schools I am barred.
Money always is a struggle
but at least I stay out of trouble.
I wish I had my first pick
then financing wouldn't make me sick.
My last year, I made it or so I thought
Statistics say college is the only way
But what if I can’t afford it
Scholarships?
I probably won’t get any
I mean I’m smart, but there’s always someone smarter
Going to college is what's important to meDon't worry about anyone elseI'm not worried about anybody elsebecause I only care about meI don't want to be nothing that I know I don't want to be
First day, not so bad
Went to class and went home to tell mom and dad
Weeks went by and things stayed the same
I was starting to feel so empty
I missed high school and my friends
(poems go here) The will of the world seems to tug and pull. The heart and the family plea and beg for you to go to college but no one knows the effort you need to put it together.
I've been at this for more than ten months,
Vying and trying for my chance,
At a little cash to help pay my way,
So my parents can stop this dance.
