    On the day I graduated a lone star shone brightly
    With honors and triumph that seemed unlikely.
    In the face of discrimination I held my head high
    As I alone embraced this achievement with pride.

    While others graduated without any strife
    I battled biases throughout my life.
    My strength, hidden behind Autisms veil,
    A power, within that could never fail.

    Being the recipient of such a grade
    I earned this distinction despite the parade
    Of doubts and prejudices that tried to sway
    Yet undeterred I persevered every single day.

    Their paths were free, from disdain
    While I wrestled with enduring pain.
    Magna cum laude, a crown
    Worn amidst discriminations critique.

    This special day of mine shines bright and true
    Born from struggles they couldn’t. View.
    May it stand tall as a testament clear
    To resilience against odds.
