Many Stages

The learning process develops as we grow
For there are many things we must know,
At first we learn our A,B,C's
And how to print our name with ease,
Next we learn two and two is four
And forms of math we didn't know before,
The transition to middle school
is the next thing to do
And if you don't fit in well, the jokes on you,
Harder classes must now be finished
Like spelling, science, and english,
The teacher's put the responsibility on you
Since in high school no one caters to you,
In high school it's up to you to learn each day
The faculty is just there to get their pay,
After twelve years the parents get the reward
The sight of throwing up the mortar board,
Now the hardest stage has come about
The place that starts your careers route,
Classes and studies occupy most of the day
And there certainly isn't time for play,
You may go for six years or just two
But still a job won't come to you,
You'll send out more than one resume'
And stay close to the phone everyday,
So when opportunity knocks, get the door
And hope you're who it's for,
You may dislike your career
Then decide to change gears,
Since you've worked so hard for so long
Make sure the choice wasn't wrong.
