Melissa’s Monologue

Dreams

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

One thought on “Melissa’s Monologue

  1. *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!
