Hey

I don’t have a billionaire dad

Or only trying to escape Gaokao

And I don’t JUST want to date some foreign hot guy, or get Pregnant.

And I don’t Stanton University, or pacific western University,

Although I’m certain they’re diploma mills.

I prepared for Toefl exam, while you’re sleeping.

I take SAT and APs, not hanging around.

I only want a higher quality of education, not only going to a name brand school.

I can proudly say that I am truly independent.

And I believe in adventurous spirit, NOT craziness.

I love my nation, NOT WESTERNIZATION.

I DON’T HAVE A EASY FUTURE, BUT DUE DAY, ESSAYS, ASSIGNMENTS, AND EVERYTHING YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

I HAVE A DREAM SCHOOL

AND WHEN I DIDN’T GET IN.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE

DON’T TELL ME TO SETTLE

BECAUSE I KNOW!

SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY, I’LL BE THERE.

MY NAME IS ELAINE!!

AND I’M GOING TO STUDY ABROAD.
