Student

We are young minds that trust you

We are eager to learn and eager to please

We will believe whatever you say

We are impressionable, and untainted

We are the working class, just the average Joe’s

We dream of a better tomorrow because We have been told it’s within our grasps

We are the ambitious, but undisciplined students.

We are the under paid, over worked masses; of the mediocre, middle-class

You taught us dream, but not how to fight

You patronize our efforts, and belittle our goals

You command respect and disrespect our intentions

You claimed our community college education was a joke, our ambitions laughable

We will silence the critics in the world, so that we might silence the critiques in our minds

We will wear our education like a coat of armor or badge of honor

We will be advocates for higher education and a role model’s for self-respect

We will be a students of the world, and humble servants for the greater good.,
