My Life Will Transform


 

 

I’m in the process of making my dream job my actuality

I need people to understand it’s okay to dream outside of the normality

To dream outside of what is socially accepted, or is a commonality

 

You see, I was told

That my dream goal

As an anesthesiologist was nothing in my control

And I’d have a better chance finding Saint Nick at the North Pole

What a troll!!

 

Because of my social standing

And many people’s misunderstanding

I knew that I had to be outstanding

As a student and as a person, my character qualities had to be expanding

I knew I had to make a name for my self, almost like I was branding

 

I went to college, with the intention to prove them wrong

I knew I had to prove to them that this is where I belong

Not only could I excel as an athlete or by writing a song

But I could also be academically strong

 

It was not until later on

That I new my intensions were wrong

My intention should not have been to prove those who doubted me wrong

 

But to prove to myself that I WILL succeed

The first step of doing so is to believe

Then proceed

And exceed

 

As an anesthesiologist, my life will transform

Because I will be living proof than one can excel outside of the norm
