A Quest For Higher Learning

In one year's time, from this isle I shall be journeying.All, I'm told, for the sake of higher learning."This is your last year at home," my mother cries sentimentally;I'll begin the next phase of my life, geographically if not mentally.Aunts, uncles, friends and parents all ask me, "Where are you going?"This, I feel, is my biggest grief; for I have no way of knowing.True, I have every college book known to man,Although I read each one all through I still don't know my future plan.Even if I knew which one, I only have a very little whileto acquire all the components of a winning file.Only three short months to get these perfect traits.The right grades, family, hobbies, and scores, not to mention my own philosophy on fate.And the interview, that's a different story.I hear they can be rather gory.What is I shouldn't wear the right clothes, or have that look?And I forgot to ask the guidance counselor what should be my favorite book?I'm sure my interviewer will ask me what I want to do.M y honest answer: "I don't know, do you?"Perhaps "President" is what I should say.I guess it should be on my resum".I'm told my decisions now will determine my situation later.But perhaps I should be going for something greater.They say get the right grades tog et into the right school.All this so one day I can have the right house with a pool.But when I choose a school, my new home.I hope my reasons will be better than those just shown.Right now my question remains, where am I going?I hope that soon I'll find a way of knowing.
