This miserable life of college we lead.
Where just the basic food, shelter and
clothing is hard to secure indeed.
Books are a fortune and the food is not
cheap.
When this time is over, pass it on to
someone else to keep.
To strip to the bare necessities
changes a person.
Depending on your perspective, it can
make you stronger so long as the condition doesn't worsen.
A learning experience that much is for
sure.
That is a good thing for as long as we
can endure.
It's like when we talk we are speaking
a different language.
'Patience is a virtue' would probably
be a good adage.
Our knowledge and our stock are growing
out of this experience because it is like planting a seed.
Finding ourselves means going one by
one through every single weed.
To make the jump and put yourself out
there requires a big leap.
For every hill we climb and mountain in
our path it only gets more steep.
To get to know the new you, or at least
the latest version.
To bury the old ones away because if
you don't it adds to the burden.
In the minds of the educated knowledge
itself is pure.
To the student it is the goal that we
need to procure.
It is a gift that flows through us,
like a river flows through a passage.
So it is you and I, are we up for the
challenge?
So come in with an open mind and take
whatever you need.
It is the experience that helps us all
in the end, this is the case that I plead.
Many things come with struggle, we may
laugh, smile, or even weep.
But it is the knowledge that wakes us
from our sleep.
Even afterwards what we take it with us
will continue to burgeon.
I'd even go so far as to say the most
learned can still be taught of this much I'm certain.
If ignorance and hatred is disease,
knowledge is the cure.
The more knowledge is fed the better
future we can secure.
To have someone put you down can
certainly do its damage.
The growth and strength gained from
college can help complete the package.
