November: "To Drop AP Bio or to Not Drop AP Bio"

I found myself struggling in this one class, AP Bio.

My test and quiz grades were way too low.

I sat in class, took notes, and asked questions,

But what I really needed were some suggestions.

I went to seek some help from my guidance counselor,

With an upcoming test on the cellular barrier.

Mrs. Bilali encouraged me to stick to it,

And to ask Mr. Devereaux if I should rethink this.

So I walked up to room 335,

Where I never thrived.

But because I aspire to be a nurse

He told me to come to him before tests to rehearse.

I took all the advice I was given

And became so driven.

I needed to pass this test,

So I woke up early and got dressed.

I walked up to room 335,

Where I began to strive.

All I needed was some extra-help

To rid my pre-test taking yelp.

Once I had the paper in front of me, it all began to make sense.

The phospholipid bilayer acts as the cell’s fence,

With integral proteins passing through the hydrophobic region,

While peripherals bound to the surface of the membrane like some sort of legion.

I left the classroom that day with relief and some belief.

A few hours later, I received an edmodo.

It was a message that read “Bravo”.

As I scrolled down with fear

“82%” appeared!

I passed the test

Which now means that I must confess,

I’m sticking with it

Because I refuse to quit!
