College Didn't Need Me
I thought school was only for scholars,
Cats, with top-dollars who’ve been served
the silver platter of success from the beginning.
Prone to winning, instead of loosing
i thought choosing
college wasn't a choice for me.
Me, a girl with no academic proof of a superior intelligence.
No cash to blow or no specific talent to show
In fact it was very easy
to realize and rationalized
that college didn't need me.
I thought college wasn’t a institute for dreamers
only hard workers, who have dedicated their life to
attend
in contrary to those who ruled out college to begin-
with..
Slackers , like me.
Who wasn't ready
to live the real world college was offering.
So I figured, college didn’t need me.
College, with all its opportunities
keys to a brighter and better future
and its grand epitome
of learning and gaining
didn't need someone like me shaming
their campus.
So yes, its true college didn't need me
However, I need college.
I, a reformed apathetic young women
trying to salvage any slight chance of a
brighter tomorrow
Needs to permanently borrow, what college can offer me
a challenge to make me
better academically
and as a person.
