Graduation ~ A Poem

G raduation throws you into a new arena,
R emoved from the safety of what you have known.
A t first you know no one and no one knows you. The early
D ays of college are a time of exploration. You slowly gain an
U nderstanding and soon after that you begin to excel.
A s time passes, you make friends, do the work, learn.
T eachers nudge you towards competence,
I ndependence, confidence.
O n graduation day you realize how quickly time flies.
N ew challenges await you, again, after graduation.
