"To do senior service or not?"

As my senior year was slowing coming to an end,

I had to make a decision about what to do next.

I could either stay in school the final month with my friend,

or I could leave for service and skip all of the projects.

I kept telling myself, "This is my final year, so I should stick it out",

But then I would just say, "Nope, I can't wait to be out of this school".

My time was slowly running out and I had to pick my route,

So I ended up choosing to leave, because staying here would be cruel.

This decision wasn't easy to make,

I had to do a lot of thinking and even ask my mom.

I know senior service is a privilege and I can't just flake,

Because my future is in my own palm.

I know I won't regret making this choice,

Because in the end I will rejoice.
