Trying All the Time to Do My Best By Kevin Garza (Age 9)

 

 

 

 

 

 

I love math

Numbers are fun

I don’t struggle with math

Only homework won’t get done!

 

Not because I can’t do it-math is fun!

My mind and body are always moving

Things don’t get done!

 

Planning is hard for me to do

Focusing on one thing at a time

Blows my mind!

 

Math is what I can do

Math is always fun but I can’t focus all the time

Hyper-ness follows me wherever I go

I am in trouble all the time!

 

Anger at teachers and at myself

This hyper-ness can’t be controlled

If it could-things would get done!

 

For now I’m doing good

Trying all the time to do my best

To get things done!
