"Calculus Problems(get it because it's a math class lol)"

My final year in this school I take calculus as a math class.
I always do good in math, but now I'm struggling to pass.
This class is either really hard or my senioritis is refusing to learn.
I don't want to go to summer school and sit in a class and burn

The beginning of the year wasn't so bad.
I got decent grades so my parents were glad.
But when the second marking period came everything changed.
When I'm handed a test I only get points for my name.

My grades plummeted to a point of no return.
There was no extra credit so there were no extra points to earn.
I needed to do really good on the next test.
I needed to study and learn so I could do my best.
.
The day of the test I was more nervous than ever.
The test took me so long I thought it felt like forever.
I knew I made a few mistakes or two.
But once the bell I ran out without a clue.

The next day I went back to class completely ready.
My teacher had this look on her face that made me unsteady.
Then she gave me a smile and handed me my test.
But only I will know what happens next...

"Driving experience"

I finally got my license after I have waited so long.
I was so confident in my driving skill that nothing could go wrong.
My dad got me a car that I could call my own.
He just said no texting while i drive or being on the phone.

I drive in the mornings everyday to school.
I have to make sure im not late that's the rule.
I sometimes take my cousin because he lives next door.
It is good to have company because being alone is a bore.

When i am alone though i like to listen to music and sing.
I dont have a nice voice so i make sure people aren't listening.
I drive to a lot of places that i know where to go.
Occasionally i travel to places i don't know.

Once I decided to stay on the highway for a long time.
I thought that if i knew my way back that I would be fine.
That's when i looked at my meter of gas.
I then realized i wasn't going anywhere fast.

I quickly made the next U-turn i saw.
I wanted to get back home, but there was a flaw.
There was no way i was going to make it back.
I needed to find the nearest gas station or I was going to have a panic attack.

Just in time I saw a delta coming up.
I quickly pulled up behind a big red truck.
I turned my car off and sat back in relief.
I was going to make it home and there would be no grief.

"Showing my parents my report card"

So one day I heard we are getting our report cards in the mail.
I hope I did good and that I didn't fail.
If I actually did then my future wont be bright.
My parents like to make sure that my grades are alright.

One week passes by and I check the mail everyday.
Apparently seneiors get it late and I'm thinking there's no way.
I have no clue when my report card will come.
Sitting in my living room I wait and I hum.

Finally my report card has come at last.
I'm the first to reach it and open it up fast.
I didn't do so good on my midterm tests.
I call my friends and learn that neither did the rest.

So then I had to decide when to show my mother and father.
If it was up to me I wouldn't even bother
But they like to see how I am doing in school.
So I show them right away and let them scream at me like a mule.

It probably was the right thing to do.
Even though I hate getting lectured from the two.
I feel a little better knowing I didn't do wrong.
Let's see if I do the same when the next comes along.

"Midterms Galore"

The next few weeks are going to be a drag.
Listening to my mother and father nag.
About studying for midterms coming up soon.
They want me to pass, so I don't look like a buffoon.

Day and night they have me studying hard.
I can't fall asleep because they are always on guard.
They make sure I stare at the paper all day long.
They never leave so they're never gone.

It's been about a week so i picked up this book.
The only time i stop is when i help my mom cook.
Or when my dad goes to the bathroom.
I try to close my eyes but he comes back too soon.

Finally the last week before midterms is here.
I think about how many tests are so near.
That after i can finally shut my eyes and rest.
But only if i get grades among the best.
