I want to be the first 

I have come far but have more to go 

I hope for new friends 

Upon a dandy lion I shall blow 

This is the beginging not where it ends 

I hope my dreams come true 

I want to be the first 

Books pencils tests they do not stop 

Rain or shine work must be done 

Do these methods produce the cream of the crop?

Do not be late turns walk into run 

Each day there is more to do.

I want to be the first 

Crowded classrooms a bustle 

I casually find a seat 

Each person caught in the school day hustle 

Knowledge the brain's treat. 

Take my notes for they give me a clue

I want to be the first 

Dreams of graduation day 

Essays and Netflix are equally common 

Surprise quiz to my dismay 

Get home to another night of Ramen 

Another fact I already knew

I shall be the first!
