Today, I felt inspired to do something a little different. Here is a little poema for all of you grinding away, hitting those milestones, and reaching your dreams… GET IT! Quierdx grad student, You work so duro You put your amor and sudore into everything you do Sigue para adelante, keep going forward The camino is hard It’s not straight, it’s not curvy It is mountains with cliffs, gaps, ascents, and beautiful scenes Que matan, that test every single ounce of you, But remember the scenic views are worth it Recuerda who you are Let God or el universo, whoever you believe in Carry you through, you will make it Yo se that the darkness settles in But tú eres fuerte, resilient You always make it through Tu puedes, and you will The camino throws you curveballs, snow storms, and hail But it also gives you light, comfort, and a blanket of amor Lean into those because those are of the things que te llevan Que te ayudan through the dark Pero creo en ti, I believe in you Vas llegar, you will arrive Al final, te llamaré Dr., PhD yo lo se I know it, because it is the truth You work so hard, you deserve it Te mereces el mundo que deseas Don’t let nadien or nada stop you or challenge your suenos Yo creo en ti y tus sueños Creo en esa piel canela tuya Rise up, sigue Press forward, finish your PhD Go change the world, Give back to your community Comparte tus talents Beautiful, inteligente, poderosx grad student I believe in you, I am proud of you Tu puedes, and you will Con amor, un PhD del otro lado |
