POEM: SUCCEEDING THROUGH OUR STRUGGLES, STRIVING FOR EXCELLENCE:

Life is a journey, live it
But having some struggle make me want to quit
I've had so many disappointments and trials
Some truths I cannot face I'm in denial
Still I realize life can't be that bad
Inspite of the many obstacles I've had
But that was yesterday when a child came along
And with today came a new dawn.

The road I've been traveling on
There were so many battles to be won
I did not give up because I had a child
Because that was a setback that only lasted for a while
I'll strive for excellence I'll not qut now
Because I will overcome my struggles somehow
I'm determine to succeed nonetheless
And whatever I do it will be my best.

If I'm going to succeed
I must pay special attention to my needs
Discipline is my most difficult task
And why/ One may ask
You see it builds moral and mental character
And they are important factors
I will acknowledge my many mistakes
And realize they are ones I didn't have to make.

Succeeding through our struggles, striving for excellence
Some of us were even victims of physical violence
We embrace the struggles that came to make us strong
And the persons who made us feel that we do belong
Opportunity is but once in a lifetime
So today is my day to shine
Shine I will not allow my yesterday to follow me
Because today I'm striving for excellence I'm going to my destiny.
