Every day in school I do the same things.
Sometimes it seems that it is all in vain.
But I know that if I try harder as the year past on.
Then it would all help in the long run.
I tried to make it through 10th grade doing the bare minimum.
But knew in order to graduate I would need to give my maximum.
Class by class, I gave my one hundred percent.
To the point where I couldn’t get any higher on my ascent.
Teachers congratulated me as I began to soar.
But I soon realized that I needed to give more.
Test by Test I gave it my all.
So that when I graduated I would have a ball.
Off to college is where I will be.
Where all of my family members would be thinking of me.
I cannot wait it will be so much fun.
By making my parents proud by being their son.

dont be too harsh its my first free verse for an english project

I've heard better poetry in an Eminem song.

Eminem is actually a very talented poet, despite his crude sense of words.

I think this poem is alright... it isn't great, but it's alright. You start rhyming everything at the end without anything at the beginning, but the beat seemed consistent and the message was clear.

your choice of words are as simplistic as Dr Seus... the whole theme is just kind of elementary overall

It's not bad at all, actually, with a little modification to the word scheme it would be rather good.

also...
