Grades
I am an average student
with average grades
But what do they know
A's seem to determine how smart I am
My test grades don't reflect my capacity
Intelligence is arbitrary
Education systems are flawed
Reading
Studying
Memorizing
Writing what I "learned" from what I read
Recieving a grade for what I turned in
Dissapointed sometimes
Satisfaction sometimes
But why does this paper with a mark control my mood
I am strong
I have been devoted to multiple organizations for years
Working for them on my free time
Making time for them
Helping my community
But what do they know about me
My grades are the only that are looked at
