Facing Reality

Location

We're in high school

About to face these

Harsh realities of life.

 

Debt, money, finances,

We are not ready for this.

We all have our dream job,

Ready to surpass the stars,

Making all the money,

Only aiming for money.

 

Instead of money,

We need to focus on

What is really the

Dream job...

That is happiness.

 

A job is not about

Money, houses, cars.

A job is about

Being happy, secure, 

And in touch with your field.

 

Without happiness,

A job is nothing.

A job is empty.

 

The job that would change my life

Is the dream job that will make me happy.

 

Journalism makes me happy.

Not how media is portrayed but

The simple art of journalism

Is rich. Information is 

Transmitted immediately.

I like that. That will change 

My life. That will make me happy

And ready to spread information

In the most professional way.

 

And these are the goals

We have to set for ourselves.

We must go for the dream job,

Not the job that will get you

Money.

 

Money is important, 

But happiness cannot be

Bought away.
