Read the excerpt from "The Long Haul."

Some say this new generation

hasn't done much but send a text message

or two. Our generation wasn't perfect

but it was sincere. We see so much potential

in these young and brilliant minds. They'll

do great things if they're willing to dig.

What does the act of digging represent in this poem?

attending school regularly

letting go of the past

working hard toward a goal

using new inventions
