-College And Career Path-
The stress of college, a burden to bear, As expectations rise, filling the air. Picking a path, a lifelong endeavor, While doubts and uncertainties cloud like a tether. Others seem to find it so effortlessly, Their passions clear, their paths set free. Comparisons linger, breeding self-doubt, As if they hold a secret, we are left without. Each step you take, each choice you make, Will shape your future, the path you partake Trust your instincts, listen to your heart, But what if my heart doesn’t know what it wants? In the realm of uncertainty, worries arise, As the weight of expectations loom in disguise. Others seem to navigate with effortless ease, While I search for answers, longing for inner peace. The pressure increases, the doubts take hold, As I question if my choices are truly the right one. How can I find my purpose, my true calling, When the path ahead seems endlessly sprawling. -First Generation Asian Daughter- Each day she rises, with purpose in her stride, To make her parents proud, side by side. Immigrant roots run deep in her soul, Their journey’s challenges, she seeks to unfold. With books in hand, she paves her way, Studying late into the night, day by day. Through math and science, literature and more, She strives to open the future’s door. Her concerns weigh heavy on her heart, In a world where expectations tear apart. Will she meet the standards, will she succeed? Her worries linger, as she starts to flee She embraces her heritage, traditions so dear, Holding onto memories, both far and near. Through celebrations and customs, passed down with care, She cherishes the moments, she’s fortunate to share. But in the midst of it all, she finds strength within, A resilient spirit, ready to rise and begin. She knows her worth extends beyond grades and scores, But after all, it opens more doors. For her parents’ pride, she’ll go the extra mile, Navigating challenges with a bright smile. In her heart, love and determination reside, As an Asian daughter, she’ll make them proud inside. -Tin- In a home once filled with laughter and cheer, Now the silence lingers, and loneliness draws near. Family scattered, pursuing their dreams afar, Leaving behind a void, a night sky without a star But amidst the stillness, a glimmer of hope Someone enters the scene, a ray of light to cope. Cute and smart, with eyes that warm the soul. He becomes a beacon, making the broken heart whole. Mornings become brighter, with thoughts of him A reason to wake up, a warmth in the dim Though our words were few, his presence so dear, His smile, his laughter, brought solace near. I’ll cherish the memories, the moments we shared, The stolen glances, the whispers in the air. For even though fleeting, his impacts profound, A silent connection, in quietness we found. So I’ll hold onto the fragments of what we had, Embracing the joy, and even the sad I’ll let the tears fall, let the heartache be felt, For in these moments, true emotions are dealt.
