My heart shakes at the thought

Of one day with no dreams sought.

My passions, my strengths, my obsessions

Will all become a complexing question.

I travel down the road unknown,

Forever pondering about new opportunities on my own.

I’m confused and scared

To have my future undeclared,

But the endless possibilities

Makes a wider expanse of availabilities

To believe in myself and ensure

That the confidence I have in myself endures.

To find out what I want to do,

I just have to pick one clue.

One thing about myself that I need to prove

To the world that I can surely make it move.

I possess the qualities of a tiger

That makes me roar and have eyes of fire.

The perseverance of achieving my goal

Of making sure that I have a role

In society, where I am bound to give

My efforts, my brains, my intentions to live

A life that marks that I was here

And not to make moments disappear.

A higher education will give me

Something more than just a degree.

I will experience a challenge, one that I must forgo

Which will induce me to search for the courage to grow

Into a person that will be of need

And will definitely succeed.
