Cheerios

I am 

The 

                  perfect

student

Aren't I?

I turn my work in on time

                                                -I forgot my homework-

I advocate for myself to my teachers

                                                -Except when I'm scared to ask for help-

I understand the assignments and I complete them

                                                -Sometimes I procrastinate-

I can collaborate with my peers

                                                -I sit out in PE.

I

Try to make sense of things

Work hard

Try my best

Do things I don't want to do

Because I know it's for the best

                                                -I-

                                                -Hide out in the band room-

                                                -Stay away from my friends-

                                                -Make excuses-

                                                -Because I just can't stand it-
