AP Statistics can get tough,
I lose my focus that is rough.
Easily lost in a day dream,
This class isn't what it seems.
When I can't focus class is a bore,
All it does is make me want to snore.
Doodling in my notes won't help me,
I hope the teacher doesn't see.
In class I should take more notes,
Instead of drawing people in boats.
I look at the textbook at home,
I understand it when I am alone.
Studying at home helps me out,
Instead of in class wanting to shout.
I focus better once I review,
Then I am clear on what to do.
I stress all the time like it's a big deal,
My college education is not something to yield.
Waiting for my transcripts to be sent,
I became worried and somewhat bent.
Two weeks go by,
My mind is about to fry.
Deadlines are apart of the past,
Thought this process would be fast.
Soon enough I got a reassuring letter,
My worries are gone I'm feeling better.
The transcripts arrived to the college,
Now I have a chance to gain more knowledge.
A week goes by that's when I got a call,
That I've been accepted to college for next fall.
I should have less stress and anxiety,
More patience and trust is the key to succeed.
No more worries are on my mind,
Now it is my time to shine.
College applications and SATs oh my,
I'm just trying to get by.
To be wise and use my mind,
And hopefully have enough time.
Hurricane Sandy started by the bay,
Application deadlines only a few days away.
Out goes the power,
It's been more than an hour.
There is no cable or internet,
This is worse than what we suspect.
Can't finish my homework or applications now,
I'm just going to have to manage somehow.
The generator can get us by,
But still no wifi, I might cry.
The outcome will be,
Hurricane Sandy can't stop me.
September 2012 it's Senior year,
Everyone is ready to have a good cheer.
No one tells you how stressful it can be,
When projects, essays and homework is all you see.
Coaching keeps me busy it's never a bore,
There is not even enough time for me to snore.
Running from point A to point B,
Can't you tell this is getting crazy?
Overwhelmed by the third week of school,
I'm just trying to keep my cool.
Trying not to let my anxiety get to me,
I take a deep breath relaxation is key.
Everything starts to get sorted out,
I don't even know why I began to pout.
This is only the first of the ten innings,
September is the overwhelming beginning.
