Powerful poem written by a student

Push Me! See how far I go!
Work me 'til I drop.  Then pick me up.
Open a door, and then make me run to
  it before it closes.
Teach me so that I might learn,
Then let me enter the tunnel of
  experience alone.
And when, near the end,
I turn to see you beginning another's
  journey,
I shall smile.
