John Simons

  I have decided to take the leap and go off to college.

Leaving behind my family, town, and friends of my current knowledge.

  While off I will be free to explore,

To discover the world once hidden beind closed doors.

  Majoring in Interactive Design,

Playing the good sport of rugby,

Managing my time,

Then coming home to smiling faces wanting to hug me.

  You could say life away will be "scary" or "frightening,

Will I meet people who want to throw fists and fight me?

  No, I don't think so, the outside to me is a simple place,

All you have to do is have a smile,

And give someone a friendly gesture of good grace.

  I am ready to conquer this world held out before me,

I'm going to give it my best shot,

Because I know you will all adore me.
