Positioned to dominate the sphere of Excellence

AT LAST! AT LAST! The day is finally here!
The moment I’ve been waiting for since the beginning of senior year.
​Though the road was long and the journey tough,
failure wasn’t an option and success were a must. 

After all those years of participating in a lifelong race,
I’ve finally reached the finish line and about to leave this place.
My heart is excited looking at all I have to gain,
overjoyed to know that all of my work wasn’t in vain.
 
Now when I put on my cap and gown, I’ll wear it with pride. 
I’ll wear it with a smile and my diploma by my side.
Knowing I’ve earned the right to be up on this stage,
words can’t describe how happy I am to finally turn this page. 
Seeing all of my family listening to them cheering in the crowd,
cameras out, flash on, lights off, I know I’ve made them proud. 
 
But beyond my smile there is fear and worry written on my face,
as I’m about to enter and navigate this strange and unpredictable place.
All alone, all on my own, with God as my guide,
and the enemy creeping in telling me no one is on my side.
 
Entering a new chapter
Opening closed doors
Taking on new responsibilities
My childish days are no more.
 
Everything’s moving so fast. 
I’m not sure if I’m ready for this change.
So many decisions to be made.
Can I do it on my own? Will I be able to survive without my parent’s aid? 
 
Despite these negative thoughts,
I keep my head held up high.
Because the word of God assures me,
that my faith will get me by.
