High Standards

[enigwise]

Sinfonians should encourage the highest standards from each other. Hold each other accountable for their actions. Do your best to leave a legacy at your chapter, because if you don't, you might as well have not been there at all.



I started striving for high standards in high school, and so far even at college I have to work at it. Check this out, I wrote it a few years ago... I use it as a motivation tool to this day. I figure sharing it wouldn't hurt, right?


The Exceptions of Can't

Can't is a word that I try not to know
But there are exceptions...
I can't let the strife of life get in my way
I can't allow my eyes to be too heavy to wake up each morning
I can't not practice and lose my holding on the world
I can't stop being passionate in anything I do
I can't forget my dreams and turn out a withered leaf
I can't not be successful in the major trials of my life
I can't let my future children walk the same Valley of Death
I can't be less than more than I should be
I can't leave this world without it screaming my name
I can't live my fantasy and not constantly keep growing
Because when I regress, I'll be dead.
Life is the gift God gave me, and when it's gone
I can't get it back.
