There once was a girl who dared to dream
Of living a life like a queen
However she knew this wasn’t the case
She thought about what could take its place
She went to school and did everything right
So she could grow up and take on the world with all her might
In case you haven’t realized, that this girl is me
Who now goes to Baruch College in the City
It’s a vertical campus, fourteen floors tall
As you walk by, you see people studying against the wall
Reading, assignments, exams-galore
Be ready to work as you walk through the doors
As you pass by Mr. Baruch on the way
You swipe your card and start your day
I came to Baruch for a higher education
But sometimes you feel that you need a vacation
My first semester has just begun
Which I am learning is not all fun
While walking into class, in search of a desk
Since I’m left handed, finding one could be a pest
The teachers are friendly and seem like they care
If we have trouble, we should have questions prepared
As a freshman we will come across challenges that we need to face
Such as balancing time and studying at a steady pace
The commute to Baruch gets kind of annoying
However while on the train it never gets boring
Performers, beggars, and unusual faces
Makes New York one of the many exciting places
The skyline, Central Park and the Hudson River are all nice sceneries
And don’t forget about all the available eateries
The city is a place to chase your dreams
But remembering that we shouldn’t have to go to extremes
Shy, outgoing, quiet or loud
Try to use your qualities at best to standout in the crowd
Remembering never to change who we are
As we achieve our dreams that are afar
*tears streaming down a smiling face! =}
I’m gonna be so bold and tell you Melissa that I voted for your monologue in a heartbeat! Do you not now how good this came out?! Your monologue was the 1st I heard in class that made me smile to myself and think, “wow, look at my student!” I know I may sound sappy but reading this poem made me proud as a peer mentor when I see a serious student of mine produce such great work.
I really hope that you will be up there on stage at Mason Hall at the end of the semester reading this powerful monologue. I am actually gonna print it out and hang it up as a keepsake.
Excellent, excellent work!!! Great picture by the way!
Please keep blogging and comment on other monologues.
