why this scholarship is important


Is it true? I asked, he said,

yes, its true, heartbroken, she's dead

she was 19 with a disease, 

her family will never live at ease. 

my mom has the same one, I thought in horror,

I have to help, I have to restore her,

but there was nothing I could do without a degree, 

so to college, and a doctor I'll be. 

This is for you, I hope you'll see, 

maybe one day, you'll be proud of me...
