What makes me Happy


Teachers always ask you about what you want to be

"Mijo, are you making the right descisions"

Mom shortly follows 

Everyone around you tries to line you up

On a straight line to adulthood

Isn't it my descision?

Don't I have a say?

I don't care that I am exeptional at math

or science

or Gym

Teachers always make you write

Why do I have a written final in Physical Education?

I could care less about my lack of Englishing skills

I may not English as good as them American students

But I want to see how many of them have actually

decided

On a plausible future

I know what I'm doing

And it doesn't involve Math

Or Science

Or Language Arts

I'm doing what makes me happy.
