2nd Semester Senior
He wakes up early in the morning — but not early enough to make it to class on time. As soon as he gets to class, he rubs his eyes but leaves his hair ruffled. Everything the teacher says goes over his head — even her questioning of why he can’t make it to school on time. He finally notices her mean stare but cannot thing of anything better to say other than, “I’m sorry.” He doesn’t mean to make her feel disrespected. That wasn’t what he was trying to do. But what can he do? He tries to go right on time the following day. One minutes, two minutes… He arrives three minutes late. Better but not quite on time. It goes on for a few more months. Graduation day finally comes and the nagging stop, the lateness stops. Everyone is happy.
