"My Cultural Background Presentation"

October twenty-second marked the day

I would have stand in front of the class and say

"my family came here after living by the Indian Ocean,
we still follow Indian traditions with great devotion"

I am glad I did not resort to procrastination
I asked for help from my family's previous generations
My grandmother told me all about her childhood
She talked in broken up english but I still understood

My next challenge was the bulletin board
I hope it gets an A+ when its scored
I tackled my powerpoint next
I tried not to jumble it with a lot of text

I tried to be different so I added a multiple choice test
Everyone answered the questions correctly and I was impressed
Although it was stressful
I believe my presentation was quite successful

"My battle with College"

When September rolled by
All I wanted to do was cry
I knew I had to write my college essay
But every time I tried my thoughts would stray

I once sat down for five hours
But for some reason I couldn't find the will power
I kept distracting myself with food
So my sentences were quite shrewd

I received a lot of pressure from my dad
He said I have to do good or he would get mad
I was waiting for the right idea to spark
But this task was no walk in the park

But in the end everything worked out
I was so happy I started to scream and shout
My college essay was finally complete
I felt my chances of getting accepted were concrete!
