Making the Grade
You struggle, and study and sweat.
But the score isn’t there.
You feel like you just keep trying, and torturing yourself to be better.
And it’s never enough. Never enough. Never ever enough.
Always just missing the mark by inches. By a point. By a letter.
It will all work out.
Life is about the struggle.
Life is about the misses.
Life is about reaching to make the grade.

Class of 2013 at Park Hill South HS in Riverside, Mo. Plan to play volleyball and major in Elementary Education at Graceland University in Lamoni, IA. I hope to become an elementary teacher in a rural school and a volleyball coach in my future. I love reading, writing, movies, and music. My friends and family have my heart.
