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!
