For Every High Schooler starting out there, We Can Do This😄!

Today with this first step

You embark on the meandering trail

That leads you to the summit

Where the pen to script your destiny lies.

The beginning’s never an idle cakewalk

A rocky trail flawed with unforeseen chasms

Shadows of doubt begin to loom over

A long walk along a path obscure.

Troubles are but stones in clear water

For tenacious hearts chasing their life’s purpose

No wishful prayer over a dandelion will do;

Through hardships you never tread alone

For there will be days of felicity and a hand to hold.

Passion and zeal, if they flow within

You are the flower not shaken by ruthless gales

As you steer clear of mendacious detours,

Sweet merited success will be yours to cherish.
