My educational career started here at age three

I clenched tightly onto my mothers’ arm

I wailed and bawled

Squirmed and fidgeted 

 

“Why do I have to stay here all day?”

“I want to go back home!”

 

With assuring eyes,

She looks at me and answers

“This is a part of life…your sister did this too 3 years ago”

 

Years passed

And as the grades passed,

This place became a place I anticipated

A place of Ambition,

Friendship and a sound Education
