Their Say lfor some. wanting to reach that long sought star and actually reaching it are two different things. Following twelve. or. for some. thirteen years of getting up and going to school in the morning. one becomes lazy and takes advantage of the new found freedom of sleeping in and basking in the sun. It hardly ever takes too long before the student real- izes that some changes need to be made in satisfying his life. There are those who are fortunate enough to pick up the pieces and proceed to make some- thing out of themselves. Unfortunately. there are those too many. who get a-job and get by - they are not happy. but they get by and are content. Those who were once somebody during their era of schooling declined because of their carelessness. I look at myself and see a mere reflection. . a reflection of someone l want to be. someone l am not yet --- but will be. . . someday. . l hope. lf one were to observe student actions on the campus. he would imme- diately be under the impression that the students are not really concerned with their ftiture: that the students are obsessed with momentous satisfaction and short term goals. Perhaps the cover does not tell the story which is hidden in the book and maybe it is a way that the students conceal the fear of what may happen in the future. lt is quite a large step that a person must take in choosing his stepping stones to follow and build upon. lt cre- ates an almost monstrous fear in the young who are faced with the chal- lenges and decisions. For those who are prepared. the road is not too rough. but for those poor souls who face their decisions with no protection from the world. the winding road sometimes led them astray. Preparation comes from not hiding behind the pretense of excessive laugh- ter but from moments of solemn soli- tude. situations concerning mental challenge and acceptance that one must make what he can. of himself. by himself. The way is not always easy but those who surpass the pretests have an advantage on those who merely jump in. The questions one asks himself. con- cerning his life. his plans for the future. ultimate goals and matters concerning others can be summarized into one. A question all can ask themselves. hopefully honest. not to be answering anyone in particular but themselves Areyuu ready to face the world? l'm tired of living on promises And dreams that you possess. l need to build my own shadow l'm leaving as you might guess -- Perhaps someday we'll meet again But then maybe we never will --- l thank you for the love you shared And the empty space you filled. But l'm leaving now. l've got to go l'm searching fora star l hope someday. you'll find yours Before your life has gone too far. STUDENT ACTION X T89
