O.K. the word is SCHOOL. Lets see what I can do.

SCHOOL

Learning, growing, interacting socially
Building on the last lesson, building higher and higher
Until one day, reaching the stars and beyond.
Start small, simple joy in accomplishment.
Excitement, pride, also stressing over tests.
Relief, boredom, interesting subjects
Stretching your mind until you think it can’t hold anymore.
Discovering skills that will last a lifetime
Report card, progress reports GRADES, GRADES, GRADES
ACT, SAT, TAKS, IBS, TPRI
How am I doing? How are they doing? How are we doing?
Which books? What’s my combination? What’s the question?
Fourth Grade, Eighth Grade, Senior Year. I’m almost done!
I still have COLLEGE??!!
