This is it


This is it

One shot is all I've got

One goal to reach, it's all I see

One chance to take my stance

If I fail this will be the last of me

But if I succeed, you will see the best of me

One opportunity that my future depends on

One reward that I'll ride to the end on

What is it that's getting me caught up?

It's my life, my future, it's tough stuff

Computers are my whole

Programming them is my goal

Advancing technology, improving education,

I want to help others across the nation

But why should I think of stopping there?

I'll share my work, make it a global affair

Perserverence, dedication,

Working late nights, no vacation

If this is what it takes to reach my goal

I'll give it my all, I'll pay the toll

I can't let the pressure get to me

I won't let my nerves put an end to me

A challenging goal that many will fail

Many will try but few will prevail

If given the chance I will shine

Take that success and make it mine

One shot is all I've got

This is it.
