First seat, fourth row
Waiting for her name to be called
Honor Society Award
Lot of work
But not so hard
Good to get
But not so pivotal
Student Council Appreciation Certificate
Why'd I get this?
I did nothing
Except sign up
Missed the first meeting
Didn't reach out
Missed it all
Spanish Award
Finally
A shiny black plaque
One with my name
One that I earned
That didn't come so easy
No Straight A's Award
Didn't think so
Got two B's and a C
Hope was unrealistic
But I wanted it so bad
Mommy and Daddy won't be happy
But...
I'm still proud
