A Graduate
In a huge stadium filled with excited students and proud parents
There sits an unenthusiastic girl next to other students
Maya
When is my name going to be called
Maya
I never knew it was going to be this long
She looks to the far left of her
And becomes gloomy because her parents aren’t there
Maya
Mom and Dad are you watching me
Maya becomes sad at the thought of them
Principal Smith
And now i will call up the top 10 students of this year
Principal Smith
These students had a gpa of 3.9 or higher the whole year
He calls up the students names
And they got handed their diploma
Principal Smith
And now these 3 students had a gpa of 4.0 or higher
Principal Smith
Maya Takahashi
Principal Smith
Come on up
She gets up and walks over to the podium
Then shakes hand with Principal Smith
And receives her well earned diploma
Principal Smith says to the mic
Principal Smith
Maya will also give a speech
Principal Smith
Since she is up here
Maya
What I have to give a speech
She looks at the people in the stadium
About what she wants to be and do
Maya
I may have good grades
Maya
I do not want to be anything like a neurosurgeon
Maya
They may have get paid well and get good benefits
Maya
But I really want be a ...
Trying to listen to her speech
Maya
I want to help save people from evil humans
Maya
And also receive Kleos ...
Maya
I want to go down in history
Maya
Be remembered for centuries
Maya
That’s what I truly want
Maya
To be a hero for others
Maya
And especially for myself
Maya
Knowing I made a difference in the world
The audience suddenly starts to clap and cheer for her
As she walks off the podium
And suddenly gives a beautiful and bright smile
A few minutes later the graduation ceremony ended
Maya goes to find her friends
So they can hang out probably for the last time
She finds both her best friends
Maya
Don’t talk about my cringe speech
Ezra and Adrien both laugh together
While Maya looks depressed
