From Negative to Positive

Some people say living life is easy
But until you've been in my shoes
You'll see what it's like to be me

Graduated from high school in 2013
With a passion to attend college
And make my family proud of me

Didn't have the money to pay my education
Now I'm taking a year off
Chilling like I'm on vacation

Education has been my goal ever since day one
But not attending college after high school
Makes me think what went wrong and what I could have done

Time for me to find a job
But in this economy
I can't even land the spot

Saving money for my school
Is the hardest thing for me to do

I want to make something of myself
Not working somewhere stocking shelves

Becoming a Registered Nurse has always been my dream
I know I can do it
Because I am my own team

There's a lot of things that I wold like to do
Whether it's fighting against Animal Cruelty
And ending Domestic Violence too

With all my dedication and determination
I know all this will can come true
