I wonder what’s coming, what the future brings,
so for a brighter future, my heart sings.
Is that a hope, a truth, or a dream? 
It all starts with a good education, it seems.

As a child, school equaled joy.
Thrilled by new opportunities, new friends, new toys.
Complemented with astronomy and museum trips and science and games.
Play, play, play, study –
repeated, quite the same.

As I enter middle school,
I think to myself 
I have to think that school is still fun.
I have to make sure that my concepts will be worked on, even one-on-one.
I have to be able to engage with my teachers and get work done.
For these reasons, BASIS Independent Fremont is the one.

Now, it’s not the play-time I rate,
but the subject fundamentals just have to be great.

I learn important things from my teachers –
the math, the sciences, the languages
it’s fun, but some suffering.
I like school when it’s fun,
the learning and how-to’s, the experience of rushed studying.

So much to master, 
so much to learn.
Acing the concepts
is what I yearn.
We all understand –
Success is not given, but earned.
I hope I achieve success
because I learn.
