They asked what was my greatest achievement
I had to stop and think
I have been living for 18 years now
So I had to go down memory lane
Was it the time when I was five
When I found my true love
The bounce of life
The layup that saved my life
Or was it the time that we moved
Just in time to watch the tragedy on the news
One of the largest building go boom
Was it the time when I had to face my fear
Because I had to speak loud and clear
In front of all those people
To tell them my experience throughout elementary school
How about the time I made the honor roll
Or even when I learned to let go
Maybe it was the time
In middle school
When I didn’t look like the fool
Maybe it was the time I moved to high school
Then it clings onto me
My greatest moment
Yeah those memories were great
But this date
Is more important
It means more than just one thing
Looking at this means that I made it
I made it into the real world
The world of my independence
You say what is it
I say getting a piece of paper
Why did a piece of paper change my life
Well because that piece of paper means something
It means I did it
I survived
I can finally say that I am alive
That paper means independent
Determination
That paper means that I can be
Anything I want to be
Because all of my hard work has paid off
Even when I got lost
I found my way
And that why I say
My greatest achievement is that I got my diploma
