#NOFILTER SCHOLARSHIP SLAM


I want to be an inspiration. I want to be someone for someone else to admire. I'm not much but a small example of life struggling for survival, a small life on a big rock that floats among fire flies. I wake up everyday seeing the sun asking me how can I make the world better? How can I show people that can endure what life has to show.

I'm not much just seeking an education wanting to ignite potiental. I want to show people what I can do. Money is the root of evil but it's a main rule for survival. A roof over your head, food on a plate. A cozy bed and family to love. People get lost seeking wants instead of needs, and cry when they submit to the greed or green.

I'm just an example of the beginning, born in hospital and back and fourth from home to medic. Start school falling back in foward, small grades to big A. Then I will graduate. I look at my diplomas from elementary and up. Wont be long to I reach the top . I don't see a just a diploma, a degree that decrees that you have to believe.

It's hard to say what you want or think what to say. Just play a game and get the stress away. The rode is a maze that you soon discover, life has no start just a compass and a finisher. Corruption means deduction and being an inspiration can forge a way. Won't be long to you inspire someone to play the game.
