A Brand New Day

What I Hope to Achieve

13
A Brand New Day
Melchisedec Adobah

Today is the day my life begins

Today, I become a citizen of the world

Today, I become a grown up

Today, I become a man

Today, I become accountable to someone

other than myself and my parent

Accountable for more than my grades

Today, I become accountable to the world,

To the future and all the possibilities

life has to offer

Starting today, my job is to show up,

wide eye and willing and ready

For what? I dont know

For anything, for everything

To take on life

To take on love

To take on the responsibility

and the possibillities

Today, my friends our life begins

And I for one can't wait

*Today is the day

The D-day, the rapture,

Today is the beginning of the rest of my life

Today I escape the dungeons and the chains of captivity

Today, I become more than numbers and grades

Today, we start a fresh new page, a brand new life

Go make the name boys, go make the name girls.

Today I set forth to write my destiny,

To leave my footprint in the sands of time.

Today I make history like never before.

To inspire all the rest as I aspire to be the best among the best,

In fact to be the 1st among the best

Go forth and live the most amazing life ever lived.

In this moment, on this day, became the person you were born to be

You have it within yourself to write your own legends

Have one thing in mind, Victory!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
