The first day at NMMI, everything seemed odd. Trying to understand how life works sometimes, And figuring out why my eyes were still closed With nothing else in my pockets but a few dimes.
I tried with all my heart to enjoy this new stage; But the ideas in my head said something else. This is the first time I felt trapped on a cage But then I heard the sound of those bells.
I thought the school was going to be hard; Because the number of classes we had. Suddenly, I got to know Mr. Bernard, And I knew it immediately, this was bad. This is my home now I thought, Without imagining my future was wrote.
