In front of me I should see my future.
But no.
In front of me, I see a pencil.
The pencil is on top of a test.
The test is on a desk.
In front of me lays my future.

Define erudite.

I'm a smart girl,

Where I go to school.
My acceptance to nursing school.
How expensive my education will be.
That number defines me.
