I need a path to proceed and something to guide me.   
Achievement is something I strive for to help me survive  
these modern days of struggles.   
I have to increase my education to move on with life,  
without letting life go on without me.   
The experiences in my life,  
and understanding this world I know I must learn more to better my life. 
I know what life is about, and how I can be part of it.   
So far, I know I need something more than what I have,  
because I know without a path to walk on I’ll be lost.   
The path I search for is still waiting to be found.   
School is one path I need to follow,  
because I know it will help me keep up with life.   
It will help overcome my obstacles,  
and give me a better understanding on what are my goals.   
I need to accomplish my goals,  
and gain more knowledge to grow stronger.
