CPPoetry

Don't let today define your future
You are not your four-digit candidate number, all computer generated,
You are not your five-digit centre number, from the school you once attended.
Print clearly your surname and name, your ultimate claim to fame,
Don't forget your signature, an autograph for the future.
All in black ink or ballpoint pen.
Read through your answers again and again

It doesn't matter what subject it is as you scan the paper,
Because you will soon become your own dream maker.
 
The heartache and stress of today,
Will make you stronger along the way.
One of your choosing, with no chance of losing.

Just remember this:

You are as unique as every star in the sky and each and every snowflake
 Ready to start a new chapter of your oh so special life
 Rest assured your path is your own and yet you are not alone.

The people that you meet, places that you'll see,
the friends you make, as you forge your way,
to far away lands with the best laid plans,
Are yours to treasure now and forever.
 
Your time in school is only temporary, go live your life extraordinary…
