Passing the Test

with some practice

some dedication and humility,

with passion and perseverence

it's possible to pass the test,

not just barely but with flying colors,

with 92% approval, with a smile

I passed the test

I hugged my mestre

and bounced up and down 

and texted my family

and emailed my friends

and am writing this post.

I passed the test, having gone

from struggling on the ground,

to standing up to kicking up to 

the sky.

it feels good.
