Ambition is Dead


I want to get involved There's no point in doing that I want to apply for this You're too young for it I want to take this There are prerequisites Why am I not eligible? Wrong major. Wrong age, Wrong gender I want to make older friends Meet more people your own age I want to go here It's too early to think about that I just want to experience the real world You have your whole life to do that What if I don't want to be like the majority? Nobody would take you seriously in the first place Then I will make them Don't even try. They won't see you as different But I am different. I want to make a difference And you will....later I am kept in a box, trying to break out results in more people taping it shut but I will not stop, because to break out of that box is when my ambition will encourage innovation.

My thoughts and feelings on being a college freshman with a lot of ambition for real world skills and opportunities..... And i am told time and time again i am too old or too eager to get so involved.
