I am the future


I am

I am an aspiring young biochemist

Young and foolish, but bright and intelligent

I am an anchor baby

deemed to be a failure

I am here to prove them wrong

No matter the situation

I will always be here to set an example that I am not just an anchor baby. 

I am not like the others,

I am here to pave my own way to success 

I am anything I want to be and more

Success is what I am, 

No matter what others think of me

I am here for myself and myself only 

No one can tell me what I should be 

I am determined to succeed at any cost

I am

The future
