The Education Race

Written for School.

Grade school --- a form of vigorous conditioning.

Teachers as coaches, Students are teammates,

rivals; opponents.

 

High school --- the race begins.  As extream

exaustion wears you down, the distant sight

of the finish line raises your spirits.

 

College --- muscles untense, lungs gasp for air.

Collapse and relax.  The end of the race

it may be, but a new one starts today!

I love it. Describes exactly the different phases of school. I love the last verse:
"College --- muscles untense, lungs gasp for air.
Collapse and relax. The end of the race
it may be, but a new one starts today!"
Probably because that is what I can relate to right now. I like the last line like don't get your hopes up since it's not over, it never really is. Nice Job. Thanks for sharing.

very nice! i never really thought of education as a race before, but the way you described it, it makes perfect sense! When you stop and think about it, high school is really a competition... But the ending was very powerful, and very true! :) love it!~
