extra credit
School is cool
Don’t be a fool
Go to school
To be some thing in the future
Maybe you’ll learn to act more mature
Help is on the way
You can help make a difference everyday
Just try not to focus
On the hard things
Cause its not easy
To practice for something
You don’t know
Don’t do it for me
But yourself
Life is full of surprises
Just don’t spend it hiding under a shelf.
