A girl decided to go to college

But did not have the money to go. She

Checked out

Different schools and finally found one.

Everyone told her she would not make it in college that she would

Fail. This

Girl decided to go anyway and found UTA was her

Home. After three years 

It hit her were they all right? Her grades had become a

Joke to most. She tried so hard she did not 

Know what to do. She was running out of money and had nowhere to go.

Like they all said she could not do it.

Money was the issue she was trying so hard working two sometimes three jobs

Now what was it all for? She had no where to go she looked 

Online and found some promising offers getting turned down over and over when she sees a

Poem contest.

Quickly she applied

Really needing the help.

She hoped this scholarship would be

The one she had been looking for. While 

Understanding that she might not the be the

Very one that they were looking for. She did not know

What she would do if she were rejected again. She knew with out college she would be stuck 

Xeroxing papers the rest of her life. This

Year was of the upmost importance. It was her last year and if she did not finish now that would just be 

Zany.
