As my senior year continues day after day after day,
more and more responsibilities pile up and cause the days to turn gray.
Filling out the FAFSA was an addition to my task list,
but I never expected the application would be full of twists.
I started the application in the beginning of January,
and, unfortunately, I treated it with an attitude that was airy.
Every day would pass, and I would say to myself,
"Tomorrow is another day to start," as I piled up tasks on my shelf.
January passed and February started without any notice.
I finally realized this was something I could not continue to dismiss.
My family and I sat to finish this application once and for all,
but we soon enough noticed we hit a brick wall.
Our tax forms were not completely filled out,
so I could not help but feel a sense of doubt.
Therefore, we found it difficult to answer all the questions
and I wondered who could provide me with suggestions.
I rushed to my guidance counselor to see if she could help,
and she assisted me with all my questions and told me not to yelp.
Thanks to Mrs. Harle, I was able to finally complete it,
and because of her, I didn't throw a fit!
The FAFSA was definitely another another thing to add on to the things I had to do. I finessed it and I'm glad you did too!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel. i didnt bother to think about mine until at least three weeks after i started and when i actually wanted to complete it i had no idea what to fill out and tax issues, so complicated and annoying but to important not to do. it was a good poem and i liked how much i related.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem I know when I was filling it out it took forever. It was smart to get help from the guidance
ReplyDeleteCounselor!
I procrastinated on filling out the FAFSA, too! I'm glad you got the help you needed to finish it because it is really important for college! I feel like a lot of students can relate to your poem since we are all experts at procrastinating the important things. Great poem! :)
