I see my classmates
Sitting around me
All bored in Algebra 1
But as I look at them
I see many things in their faces
Some are worrying about things at home
Their school work and grades
What are they going to do for money?
Should they do what their friends want them to do?
But also they are thinking about their futures
We all have ideas of what we want to do
Some want to go to college and earn a degree
While others want to go to the oil field
And some want to be doctors and police officers
But first we all must pass Algebra 1 and High School
Some of us may pass
Some of us may fail
Some of us may become rich
Some of us may help people and keep them safe
But we all will go our own ways after High School.
