JOSEPHINE
Danny Chen!
It’s senior year,
And we’re all set.
We’re the chinatown,
All-American dream.
Hey -- you got full scholarship
I only got half!
I’m just as smart as you,
I’ll ask them for more.
DANNY
I haven’t decided
If college is for me.
JOSEPHINE
What? Why not?
I see our future
Bright as the moon.
I’m choosing St. Francis
You should too.
“The small college
Of big dreams.”
I have big dreams.
I could be
In dance, fashion,
Inventing killer apps!
DANNY
Is that what you’ll do?
Follow your dreams?
JOSEPHINE
You know my parents
Only want me to be
A doctor or
At least an engineer.
DANNY
So you’ll do what they say,
Instead of what they want.
That’s not for me.
In school, I'm always
Bored out of my skull.
