I am not just a number in your grade book.

My grades do not reflect me.

I am not a score on a test.

My scores are not my reflection.

I am not wasted potential.

My potential is still sprouting.

I am not lazy.

My answers just don't always show up.

I am not slow.

My responces need more time to flourish.

I am not an empty shell in a desk.

You make me that way.
