Tracy Chapman's voice fills my ears. The lyrics to 'Fast Car' consume me, making me close my eyes, taking ahold of my heart and just erasing everything else. A smile crosses my face, lingering there for a moment as I take a deep breath in and sigh. *You've got a fast car, and ive gotta plan to get us outa here* A song about a new start, getting out there and being all that your capable of. Her songs inspire me, talking about the crossroads of life, new starts, new adventures, equality, everything that is important to me and that will be part of my near future. It makes me think of who I am truely, and who I have the opportunity to be, if I get into UWC. How badly my heart yearns for being accepted. How badly I want to get in with all my being. But now, I feel as if there is something holding me back.. Friends, co-workers, people at the homeless shelter I have grown to love, a certian person in particular who I barely know, but already love.. Will I be able to go off to the college, knowing that I wont get to see these people for almost two years? Or will I feel a resistance when I try to leave... Hear my feelings calling for them... Only time will tell.
