_Leading Up To Graduation
As a young child enter kindergarten
The world is wonderful
Full of discovery
And many places to explore
Moving through elementary school
Learning has become boring
Everything is too slow, too easy
I feel that i have had enough
Patiently, I wait for high school
In grade eight,
A new world is opened up
bigger school, more people, more teachers
Learning is once again exciting
As new areas of learning are opened
Senior year has arrived
The pressure now begins building
School suddenly becomes serious
Everything matters now
as I prepare for graduation
Finishing high school
Is not the final test
But rather the doorway
Into early adulthood
Only now will we begin
To face the challenges of life
