how am i

Location

at one time, education was an option
now, education is essential that opens up windows of oportunities
Without an education, might as well as work at mcdonald's
wait a minute, now you need a high school diploma or a GED
that should tell you the rules of the game is changing
so you either adapt or perish
or just be lazy and get up bright and early to stand on the welfare line
i'm never a number, society can perceive me as many things
i choose to not entertain because no matter what
someone won't like me, i love myself and god loves me
education is pointless if there is no relevance that will prepare me for this cruel world  i live in
regardless on how high the star, if you just reach it, somehow, you'll touch it
Society wants us to be successful when we are in dept with no support
because we live in a world where nobody cares
So tell me,
How am i?
