As I sit at my computer and think to myself,

how can i make college happen, 

i've got no money on my shelf,

change in my pocket is replaced with nothin'.

Everyone tells me my dream school won't accept me,

but now im accepted,

and school is not free,

my wallet has not adapted.

seven years ago,

my family went bankrupt,

we left our house, forced to go,

we were poor, it was very abrupt.

I write this poem to help me learn,

I hope you like it, tried to make it witty,

this scholarship will aid me earn,

however please no pitty.
