There Is No Planet B


When I look outside I see a beautiful place,

With a community wearing a smiling face.

We all strive to live the “American dream,”

But I’m still trying to figure out what that means.

Trying to “make a living,”

And show off your “bling”?

Humans take advantage of the simple necessities,

Like a working class of honey bees.

We see life grow like a forest of great big trees,

Until a carpenter comes along and does as he pleases.

Every cause has an affect,

Including a bigger regret.

A selfish race fills the air with neglect,

We must think about the consequences we select.

Just like our bodies being our own personal automobile,

We need to eat and exercise the proper way in order to continue to turn the wheel.

There are many people that inspire me to pursue my dream,

I plan on doing so with the proper team;

We will help the planet by any means.

By doing what we can to keep it clean.

This is one beautiful planet we all live on together,

And if we work as a team we can make it even better.

<p align="center">I have recently been accepted into the environmental science program at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. For five years I have been dreaming of going to this school. Now that I can say I have accomplished one of my goals, I will continue to have high expectations for myself and pursue the rest of my goals. In order to make one million differences you have to start with one. This is one beautiful planet earth we live on that we all call home.</p>

<p>I have recently been accepted into the environmental science program at The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey. For five years now I have been dreaming of going to this college. Now that I can say I have accomplished one of my goal, I intend to follow through with many more. In order to make one million differences in the world, you have to start with one. I believe I am one in a million and I will follow my dreams as big as they are untill I have self satisfaction. My parents have always told me that hard work pays off, and everything is falling in place so well. I have many expectations for my future and scholarships are just the begining of my journey.</p>
