Successful

I want to be successful for myself
I want to help others who really need help
I want people to feel comfortable with themselves
To do that, I have to take care of me
To help people who are not well mentally
I’m know I’m worth it
I know I have a good heart
I just want to be successful
I know I’m smart
I have something to prove
That I can be just as successful as you
Why cant we be trained
just for what we went to school for
This is insane
That we have to take all these classes just to be good at this
Things are not working out my way
 I cant give up
No matter what, I will make it to graduation day
Even though it’s so far away
No matter how much it gets stressful
I will do what it takes to be successful

I like this part so much: "Why cant we be trained just for what we went to school for This is insane" - We are told that if we get exposed to all this stuff we might find something we like. This can backfire also. I HATE math.
