3444. I wish I had copies of my report cards from back then, because
even just at a glance you would be able to ascertain the predicament I was in.
My grades in math and science were never very good but over the past year,
under the guidance of Mrs. Hagner, I had progressed from C, through the D’s to
arrive at the F’s.
3445. Although all my classmates were guilty of not excelling enough in
math and science, I was particularly remiss. My report card declared, along
with the mound of newspapers from my failed paper route, abandoned behind the barn,
that I was bringing the country down.
3446. It was not that I was failing everything. There were bright spots
on my report card and I had been getting consistently, A+ in the subjects of
Art and Music, which, for some reason, were listed separately from the other
subjects.
3447. If only, I thought to myself, painting pictures and singing songs
were the things that would save the country from destruction then I would be in
a good position to do my share.
