For my final presentation, I decided to write a Dr. Seuss inspired poem. This poem represents the significant event of me going from feeling out of place and afraid at college to feeling like I truly belonged at the University of Cincinnati.
As summer wound down and college drew near
New students were filled with excitement and fear
Of new friends to be made and good times to be had
But one certain student was especially sad
The world that she’d built was falling away
And she’d give anything to have just one more day
With the friends she grew up with, the friends she holds dear
Before everything changed with the coming school year
But after the rain came the sun and new starts
A not so bad ending with not so hurt hearts
For her friends stuck around with their love and consistence
And the ones who left town showed her: love knows no distance
The fears that she started with started to fade
And after some time she wasn't afraid
Her horizons got broad and opportunities grew
And she pulled comfort and joy from all that was new
So now she’s all settled and feeling just fine
And is confident her college stars will align!
