(poems go here) College.
An Idea
Formed since
Our birth. Saving money
From baptism, first birthdays.
Parents telling us to do our best
Since kindergarten. Already stressing about
The future. Pressure on us from the first day of school.
Will we bring home A’s? We become slightly aware of the
pressure in middle school. Struggling to deal with
Pressure from peers and school. Parents anxiously
Biting their nails. High school is almost here. Freshman year.
Four years left. Continuous stress on us. Always. Applications and scholarships
Day after day, turning into an everyday action. When will the pressure cease?
PSATS and SATS practices and tests. Parents counting down the time. Senior year.
Applications sent, one sigh let out. There are but a few months where nothing
Can be done. Letters come in and
The stress is over. The time has come.
