I Was Not a Good Student

I was not a good student, 

I missed a lot of my classes,

But I was not the student that 

demanded free passes.

I accepted my failures,

I accepted my flaw,

I did not define success

On the attendance law.

I was not a good student,

I did not submit all my work,

But I did have a motivation,

And that was my perk.

An A did not define me,

Nor did the well-earned C,

My talent was not defined

By my Bachlors degree.

I was not a good student,

I did not graduate with honor,

But I knew none of my work

Has ever been a goner.
