Applications,

Essays,

Letters of Recommendation.

Hours, 

Hours,

Hours of work.

Work that makes my eyes blurry 

Or fingers cramp. 

For what exactly? 

After college what is there?

An office job,

Or a desk resptionist?

Preforming nominal tasks that dull the brain

And numb learned collegiate skills? 

No. 

No.

No.

I will not give up. 

I will not give in. 

I will not stop, 

Untill my voice is heard. 

I will matter. 

I will be a changemaker 

A leader. 

I will make a difference for others,

Myself.

and the world.

Whether I be a CIA agent,

Diplomat, 

Or President of the United States, 

You will hear my name on the news,

Catherine McConnell. 

Because I matter.
