Summer vacation has come to an end much too quickly; thinking about the days going to the beach

my feet caressing in the sand, enjoying the sun ray, friends all around; now it's out of my reach

Here I am driving to school, starting my senior year of high school; back to reality has begun

of course my schedule was all screwed up; took them a week for them to straighten out; so I hung

Time to focus once again on my education with much additional work to add to the pile of fun

filling out college applications and applying for scholarships; oh how I rather be soaking up the sun

Too much homework; being responsible for my future getting overwhemed to say the least

staying organized, community service, playing soccer, taking AP classes has increased

Who thought being a senior would comes so rapidly; I just want to go back a few more years

enjoying the freedom I had; not having to deal with other stuff brings me to tears

Education is very important I won't take that away, dedication and determination is the key

trying to prepare for college and setting my goals; seems to cost me all of those fees

Hoping to win some scholarships to help me financially while earning my college degree

my head is spinning going around and around missing those days when things were carefree

Getting up early to start each new day; hoping somewhere somehow it will get easier

it seems like the same thing day after day; why oh why does it feel like a teaser

More school work, more homework and no time to spare with the applications galore

take out those books read a chapter; answer the questions to me what a bore

The value of education will be worth it in the end; have different opportunities in which to choose

my goals will be accomplished; earning my degree time to celebrate; take out the booze
