~JD Souza, Class of 2027

Adversity does make you stronger;
when you feel like giving up it makes you last a little longer,
like being down 10 runs in a big game
and getting nervous while watching the fans go insane.
Getting through Cornell notes – now, that’s really pain,
like failing a math test; that hurts like a knife,
but adversity is here to get you through life.
