By Evangelos Papamichael
Step in the right direction!
Put your correct foot forward and hope for the best.
You can see it in the reflection
We all take a stab in the dark and hope for success.
The man is coming in for the inspection
Not realizing the consequences.
He is going to put you in detention!
As a thirteen-year-old in eighth grade that is what I did.
It is all because of your obsession
I missed out on Athletics for many years. Because I attended Greek School on Saturday mornings.
Hop…skip…and…jump!
When I tried to go back to track and field training, I was a failure.
Someone just hit me… with… a big thump
But I found another hidden gem.
You are so proud that you want to stand in front
My love of languages.
Do not try that dangerous stunt!
My parents sent me to the best. Modern Greek school in Australia. In the last four years of my childhood.
Get your ammunition together…we are going in for the hunt
The teachers who were my educators. Were, all, University trained in Athens or Salonika.
It is…time to…eat and feast…on your big lunch!
We followed the same curriculum syllabus and classes as in Greece.
I am enjoying this tasty…crunch
In our age group and education level.
Something big is giving me a hunch
We had to study so much literature language culture and grammar subjects as well as geography and the history of Greece.
You are a warm and friendly bunch
From when I was eight years old. And in third grade at Greek school. I had 1-2 hours of homework, each, week day.
I think… I am…coming to… my…senses!
I loved the pressure and complexity of my homework.
Yes…now… I can see the …light
When I got stuck or didn’t understand the work my mother would help me.
Hold on tight
This international education laid the foundation. And prepared me for my last year of English at high school. Where I successfully passed compulsory English. As well as optional English Literature.
This is going to take a lot of might
In my second year of high school. I took Karate martial arts lessons.
It all worked out for the best…despite!
It was known as Shotokan Karate.
Don’t worry everything will work out alright
This taught, me, mind control regular exercise keeping fit. And staying cool calm and confident.
Hang on…tight!
It was easy to keep up, with. And it was, also, relaxing.
You know what? Everything worked out right
These were my successful. And pleasurable substitutes. For my lack of ability in athletics.
All that I did was take a small bite!
