A Dream Like Mine, about to come true

When you’ve got a dream like mine Nobody can take you down When you’ve got a dream like mine Nobody can push you around…

Four years ago I embarked on a journey, and tonight I find out if that journey will be fruitful. At six p.m. EST, I will give my final presentation in front of the Technical Communication faculty at NC State for the Master’s degree.

Today I dream of how it used to be Things were different before The picture shifts to how it’s going to be Balance restored

When you know even for a moment That it’s your time Then you can walk with the power Of a thousand generations.

I am nervous of course, but mostly, I feel pretty confident. I have a very high GPA and have been impressive in all my classes (not arrogance, just the truth). To be quite frank, I have worked my tail off for four years, balancing a very demanding job against a very demanding graduate program, where the faculty is comprised of some of the most well-respected, most published academics in the field. I did not mess around. I wasn’t perfect every moment, but I did pretty good. I’m proud of my accomplishments, and I’ll be proud to stand in that little room tonight, in the basement of Tompkins Hall off Hillsborough Street in Raleigh, and make my case.

Anybody here can do the same. All it takes is one strong thought, held inside you. Your dream. All the other dreamers will walk with you.
