YEAR 12 & THE ATAR

It’s the end of my schooling
A gateway to adulthood
Start of a new beginning
End of the road

Memorisation, studying and practicing
day in and day out
pressure from all sides
can’t really cope

preventing us from achieving more
or discouraging us from doing any
blinding us from
other alternatives

It feels like the end
even if it’s not
as it’s number
not an overall representation
