"What are We to You?"

I believe the students studying at our school do not get enough props.

We bust our arse to maintain high grades to get scholarships and TOPS.

Yet I feel like the only thing we get is clubs that require us to do community service.

Which is shockingly rewarding since everyone we help is grateful and usually deserves it.

Though as a student I must say one thing.

The help we get from our school is sometimes unseen.

Yet maybe they do help and we just ignore it.

And I hope that help is not a school movie ticket

Since it makes it feel not worth it.

I want to see them bring people to our school to help us realize our dream.

Or maybe give us a short thank you speech to show we matter.

 Since students' test scores are making the school's pockets fatter.

So I will make this as short as possible.

Showing us that you care is not impossible!

Some of us would like some visible encouragement.

So we will know that you think we are all worth it!
