Looking Ahead

Raheem Mixon, 6th Grade
North Verdemont Elementary School, San Bernardino, CA
Inland Empire

As I look ahead, I can clearly see,
that college is where I want to be.
I would like to start saving towards tuition and fees,
my future education is worth that much to me.

While attending elementary through high school,
my focus will be on grades and not breaking the rules.
Always studying hard to achieve my goals,
striving towards a college degree and honor roll.

Being the first of three children in my family to attend college,
it would be a great achievement, to gain additional knowledge.
One important goal, that I feel must exist,
is to go to college and become a cartoonist and journalist.
Through life's experiences, my college major may change,
but I hope my goals and dreams remain the same.

A spot in college will be saved for my peers,
this is very nice to hear.
A spot should also be reserved for ME,
as I strive hard to be the best I can be.
