Quoting Martin Luther King
There comes a point in every young child’s life
When they hear the famous speech “I Had A Dream”
There comes a point in every young child’s life
When they want to become an astronaut or a princess
There comes a point in every young child’s life
When their parents tell them to “chase after your dreams”
There came a point in my young life
When I decided a wanted to become a teacher
I wanted to shout it from every mountain
Every rooftop
I wanted the whole world to know that
I was going to change the world
Because I was going to be someone important
I was going to become the world’s best
Teacher.
There comes a point in every teenager’s life
When they start filling out college applications
There comes a point in every teenager’s life
When their homework is overwhelming and life is complicated
There comes a point in every teenager’s life
When their parents tell them to “get a job”
There came a point in my teenage life
When I did the responsible deed and filled out college applications
I did all my homework and worked hard for good grades
I got a job
All because I knew I had to work towards my goal of becoming the world’s best
Teacher.
