Why I should get to go
to New York for Spring
        Break
                By Emilie Muskrat
   (I thought the piano layout was appropriate)
… It was an 89.

Last year, I ended with an 81 in AP US History. The year
  before that, a 93 in AP World. Before that, an 86 in
  Government. An 89 is one of my highest history grades,
  and considering the fact that I raised it from a 79 in only a
  few weeks to have an A on that report card, I think an 89 is
  pretty great. It just doesn’t look as good as a 90.
BROADWAY

It’s not a real reason, I just wanted to make sure that you
   know that I REALLY REALLY want to see a show on
   Broadway. Like, REALLY really want to.
My grades in every other class were a 91 or higher. Three were
 a 97 or higher. I even had a 95 in Math. If anything, I
 certainly wasn’t slacking off.
BROADWAY
My numeric average overall for my four years of high school
 so far is a 90.57 with last semester’s average added. Without
 last semester, it would be an 89.

… Another 89.
I’ve never been rewarded for good grades. Don’t get me
   wrong, it’s the right policy to have; I should get good grades
   regardless of whether or not I’ll be rewarded. But it was
   great motivation, and they were the best grades I’ve ever
   gotten. The fact that this is the first time I could be
   rewarded and had a goal that I was working so hard to
   reach, something that was tangible and possible, and a
   single grade point could keep me from that… what a
   downer!
BROOOAAADWAY
Oh yeah, and that really big toy store that has basically every
 toy you could possibly want…

… and the Empire State Building…

… and the Statue of Liberty…

… and SO MUCH MORE!
I’ve never been to New York. I’ve heard so much about it, of
   course, and I’ve always wanted to go, for so many reasons.
   It would be so UNBELIEVABLY crappy if I didn’t get to go
   because of one measly point, especially when I did so well
   in my other classes and showed so much improvement. I
   worked really hard to get those grades, and I think getting
   an 89 in History instead of a 90 was just dumb luck. I did
   really well on that exam, and I really struggle with that
   class. Please don’t punish me because I’m not a historian. I
   really did work hard.
P.S. … Just in case you didn’t get it….
