Incarcerated Scholars Conference Art Gallery 2025

My hard work and dedication for education is preparation for my futuristic occupation/knowledge is power so I obtain with no hesitation. Success and comfort is what I’m chasing/ While being patient got motivated then elevated I’m getting better / I put my heart into my work like a love letter / I came to set the bar I’m something like a trendsetter / My GPA a KD with little something extra!
We put in overtime in school, they know we doing extra
We put the G in pep the light that we shine incandescent
We graduating at a heavy rate just check the records 
Them gophers geeking they studying weekends the whole semester we eating food for thought hungry reading more than expected shout-out the teachers that got us reaching for extra credit
Shout out the tutors that share their knowledge on every lesson
Shout out the nerds my last paper was almost perfection

Feed me the wisdom Hungry for knowledge. Tasting the power in solving a problem. Finish a book and I savor the flavor. Study the theory. Catch an equation. Checking my answers and using my tutors. Showing the math and using my rulers. I’m doing the work and I’m proud of myself 
I’m thankful to Goucher for giving me help
Got educated up in G Pep
Where we work hard, no recess
When you’re a Goucher grad, you sleep less I’ma study hard so I can be next 
Went to study hall, and got feedback
Now I can do equations, I can read text Gotta thank the donors, that foreseen that Educate me Goucher, cause I need that

I am Goucher, we are Goucher, what possibly  could they want for me/ Fixated on passing, learning always been a passion / So I’m really multitasking, what you want AA, BA, or Master’s / Gotta attend all your classes, the knowledge is there you can grasp it / Future is yours, just imagine / Where you want to be | What you want to see / Who you want to be / Attain the skills to lead a symphony / C.E.O, you run a company  / Make a wish that you want 4 you / I made a wish of what I want for me, And what I want for me is to …. Educate meeee

Ever since i got in Goucher life aint been da same\ Secured dis knowledge sharpened skills strengthened up da brain/ Now da ways I view da world will never be da same/ Da more you da more you know da more you grow watch your ur life will change/ at first it started w a thought den drew it up like art/ Always knew dat i was smart just I had to play my part/ Demonstrate wat i been taught dis was earned wasn’t bought / You aint in Goucher need 2 start be on point just like a dart/ I’m just tryna reach my goal graduate get a degree / Education wat we need get a career make some G’s / Feel’s good like a summer breeze when we dem A’s B’s Future leaders wat you see when you look Goucher look at we 

For the 8:00 studied hailers/for the can’t make it babes I’ll try to call you.
More Brighter futures/mean more successses 
Than the Community as a whole can keep progressing The 
New Goucher song/has a deeper message 
Hug somebody’/love somebody
Reach somebody/teach somebody
Change a future/be some body

Artist Statement

The song “Educate Me” is the Goucher Prison Education Partnership scholars’ way of bridging the Jessup and Towson campuses while giving the school song a flavor that resonates with the locked up Goucher community as a whole. Though locked up, we are not locked out of the Goucher community. This is our gift to the world and especially to our “alma mater, alma mater!
