Graduation


It's Time!

Time for a change.

i'm excited,

I think about how my life is about to change.

I put on a white and black dress

It was a requirement

 they wanted us to look like young ladies.

 

As my parent get dress

and talk to me

About being a young lady.

We head out to Charles Elementary School

on the west side of chicago

I look out the window thanking god that I made it

Wow, my last day as a 8th grade

The journey that have been so long 8 years

 

Momma say as I get out the car

“Im proud of my baby girl”

I'm nervous but excited at the sametime

It's a time for me to start over

I made it

My friend smiling

overcome with joy

 

The graduation have begin

The Star banner is playing

I'm marching to the beat

I'm on my way out of elementary school

Nlcp here I come

No More you can't chew gum

No more standing in one straight line

 

Time to exit the building

Time to say goodbye

I'm ready to party

In welcome my new life

Oh my goodness no more

Charles elementary school

It's over
