Drabble: Math Class by Mark Tulin

Success is relative.

Math Class, By Mark Tulin

 
All year, Jake tried to attend math class.

He had every intention of going, but something got in the way.

He forgot his book, woke up late, his car wouldn’t start, and once he got off at the wrong exit.

But Jake was determined to make it to class for the final week.

His best friend reminded him that he had missed too many classes and that the grades were already recorded.

“Even if you went the last week and completed every assignment, you’d still fail."

Jake didn't care. He was proud that he finally made it to math class.
