In classrooms vast, they shape our minds,

In textbooks bound, a world defined,

Yet in this structured, scripted art,

Real world truths set apart.

Degrees adorned, a costly pledge

In halls of learning, edge to edge

But skills of life, they rarely teach

Till reality's shore, they’re out of reach

A maze of grades and tests to clear

A roadmap drawn, it seems so clear

Yet on this path, what do we find?

A world unscripted, undefined.

For in the realm where life awaits,

Experience, not grades, dictates,

The gaps in learning, wide and deep,

Till real-world challenges, they seep.

Investments made in knowledge vast,

But practical wisdom, unsurpassed,

The paradox, as we're set free,

For in this blend, true success lies
