Dear Scholars,
“Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete? Proving nature's laws wrong, it learned to walk without having feet. Funny, it seems to by keeping its dreams; it learned to breathe fresh air. Long live the rose that grew from concrete when no one else even cared.”
In the poem “The Rose That Grew from Concrete” by Tupac Shakur, the poem represents the ways that someone can become something great coming from a place that's not recognized as great. I selected this poem because despite what the world may say, you were born GREAT and with GREATNESS in you!
