An Ocean Of Knowledge
An Ocean Of Knowledge
My school is like an ocean
For when I first arrived,
There was so much commotion
Thought I never would survive
My locker got me tangled
In a jumbled net of junk,
It all was so confusing
That I felt like giving up
I finally got untangled
After quite a while,
Then walked into my classroom
And was greeted with a smile!
My teacher was as welcoming
As a rising ocean tide,
She told me to find my desk
And put my things inside
Each new kid was different
Like a unique kind of fish,
So I sat down, and in my head
I made a little wish
I hoped this year would be filled up
With lots of friends and fun,
But how to not be worried
Since the year had just begun?
And then before I knew it
It was time to head to lunch,
The students hurried quickly
So they’d get some time to munch
The lunch tables reminded me
Of noisy schools of fish,
All the friends were crowded in,
And sometimes seemed quite squished
Each class at school was different
And soon the day was done,
Then suddenly I realized
I actually had some fun!
As the year went on I noticed
That I wasn’t as afraid,
As I thought I would be
When I came here my first day
Sometimes there are hurricanes
That sweep in lots of doubt,
But I learned to overcome them
And drown my worries out
I work my hardest every day
To always earn good grades,
And thankfully I even made
Great friends along the way!
Now I know my school is like
A giant coral reef,
All the separate parts of it
Are different and unique!
My school is never just a school,
A place to learn indoors,
It’s really an ocean of knowledge,
There for students to explore!
