It started when our lecturer said what would come next

Well I believe no one would have thought it'd be that complex

​

Just imagine, most of us only started university two weeks ago

We expected the studies to start off rather slow

​

However, they decided to dive right into it

Rather than giving us time to quit

​

"It's about the intercultural experience," he said

And all of us nodded excitement with our heads

​

The two weeks passed really fast

The project started and turned out to be a blast

​

The project did not just include us

But also some people we couldn't get to by bus

​

Those people are going to a university in a country discovered in 1492

Do you already have a clue?

​

America it is

And not to start another quiz

​

The city the university is placed

Is the one people are living who have really good taste

​

It is New York City

A place many people call really pretty

​

We got to know each other

And immediately called each other brother

​

But there was no time for romance,

or a passionate dance

Becasue we got an amazing chance

​

We did an interview

With people, we barely knew

​

Those people were experts in a certain field

And talked with us about their experiences, completely unconcealed

​

Those people already achieved what we are striving for

But what they told us brought us down to the floor

Even though it was something we probably knew before

​

They are only driving a nice car

And they made it so far

Because they were working and studying like a rockstar

​

To achieve our goals, the professionals gave us advice

Not to always be nice

But to pay a certain price

​

The price is not about money, not dollars or euros

But about the coming lows

​

When something seems impossible it is the most important thing to keep going

That is what differentiates normal people from the ones who are glowing

​

Success has to be earned

But that was for sure not the only thing we have learned

​

When the day is one halfway over while the day of the other just starts

Organizing study deserves a Master of Arts

​

The organizing part might still have been fun

But setting an alarm for 3 am for an interview is definitely none

​

Even though the last sentence sounds annoyed

We will keep this experience in an imaginary Polaroid
