What I learned in……


What I learned in elementary school

Is always follow the rules

 

What I learned in class

 Is pay attention and you will pass

 

What I learned in the cafeteria

Is a lot of students in one room can cause great hysteria

 

What I learned at breakfast each morning

Is cereal everyday can be quite boring

 

What I learned at lunch

Is the bread is too hard to crunch

 

What I learned during snack time

Is people taking your food should be a crime

 

What I learned in math

Is numbers have a wrath

 

What I learned in science

Is when using chemicals do not show defiance

 

What I learned in language arts

Is poems are written from the heart

 

What I learned in history

Is it is no longer a mystery

 

What I learned in middle school

Is kids make fun of you and think it’s cool

 

What I learned in junior high

Is kids are still mean and make you cry

 

What I learned in high school 10th, 11th, and 12th

Is do well in college and you’ll be supplied with wealth

 

What I learned so far in college

Has supplied my brain with ample knowledge

 

If I receive this scholarship

I will show my great acknowledgement

 

By teaching others whatever you want will be earned

Nevertheless, it starts with what you learn
