Stability is Strength


Aspirations are what keep one going

They say dream big, but I rationalize

Not to be the richest nor the most famous

But to be stable

I aspire for a job in economics

A government job to help this nation so greatly in need

A stable job to support my family so dearly loved

An average job which I can transform into much more

To do great things with the mediocre

College is a necessity and that I know

Education is success, but with me, it's more

From college to work, from education to success

I aspire to help myself so that I can help others.
