The books you bought were large, the same the drain economic The struggle to carry the bills and them was really patho-comic. You sat in class with pens all poised, strained with rapt attention. What you heard and what you learned — the percentage I won ' t mention. That first year you studied read and briefed each single case And dug and ground throughout the days to keep plugging in the race.
