my grade in math was bad.
Mr. Jacob even told me
that he wasn't very glad.
I took into account
the work that I had missed.
I then began to realize
I've dug into a ditch.
My grade dropped too low,
and my mom wasn't impressed,
she yelled at me and said
"Get this issue addressed."
I went after school
and asked him for missed work,
and the list that he gave me
almost dug into the dirt.
I had a lot of work to do
and not a lot of time.
So I went home that night
and I began to work at nine.
Two days later
I handed it all in.
Once I got my report card
I had to go thank him.
My grade increased a lot,
but although I felt it was earned
I must get my work in on time
was a valuable lesson I learned
