I can’t go to the career fair—
I’m too busy, too shy, not prepared.
My résumé’s rough,
My future’s unclear,
And networking feels weird.  

But maybe I’ll go to the career fair
Because— 

Because internships start somewhere,
And so do careers,
And one good conversation
Can quiet the fears. 

Because not all paths are decided,
And not all plans are clear,
And sometimes your future
Is waiting right here.
