Hope

started out as a myth

thought I could never make it

school was a joke

only way was to fake it

homework was for losers

who needs to learn?

the tracher my enemy

my education adjourned

they had no faith 

thought i was a fool

no teacher reached out

while i was in k-12 school

constantly in trouble

highly unmotivated

i moved on to cc

having barely graduated

that following fall

something happened; quiet strange

the professors cared

and my mindset had changed

they offered belief 

passion and drive

i fell in lve with learning

i felt so alive

i took pride in my work

wanted to be the best

to better myself

and help out the rest

Now I'm writing this poem

from UCSD

where I've grown as a student

to be academically free

Economy is my major

I want to make a difference

this schoarship will aid me

In giving others motivational assistance.
