She took the risk and made the move
Enrolled in courses, paid tuition
Embarked upon a journey bold
Nothing worthwhile makes it easy
–
She hit the books and studied hard
Placed hopes and dreams upon her desk
Homework structured every evening
The future more important now
–
From class to class, through rain and snow
Lectures, essays, midterms, finals
And once a week she volunteered
Community, connection, care
–
Good coffee always faithful friend
Wide awake for morning learning
Then soon, bright shining GPA
No more her forward path unknown
–
She pushed with all her might, she did
Propelled that boulder up the mountain
She’s reached the top, SAIT graduation
A new career, a rolling stone
