Every year in the month of February
Our high school chooses a day for jump rope for
heart
This day is dedicated for those with heart problems
And grades compete for the most money on the chart
Seniors and juniors jump periods one, two and three
Sophomores and freshman jump during periods seven
and eight
I had already missed two days of my classes
Due to the academy presentations that could not wait
I didn’t want to fall behind on my work
But I did want to jump on that date
Do I miss classes again and risk my grade?
Or do I stay and settle this debate?
I decided to stay and play it safe
And this choice made was such a good thing
Because now I am caught up on my work
Only good grades is what this will bring
