High School

He held my hand when I was down
She took my hand to help me out
They clapped for me when I got up
She hugged me to make my day brighter
I do not know these people and they do not know me
Yet when I need it, they give me a hand
I dropped my books he picked them up
I was lost she showed the way
I was feeling sick they stayed with me to see I was okay
They say high school is hard
In addition, no one looks your way
They say life is rough 
Deal with it yourself your own way
However, when I needed a hug, a hand, or a tiny clap
The high scholars I do not know well, they had my back.

This is everything that happened to me on my first week off school a tiny freshmen like me is lucky to be at GHS

I remember those high school days from long ago. When I graduated, Richard Nixon was in the White House. All of your verbs with the exception of line six are conjugated in past tense. It would be a good idea to keep the consistency by converting that sixth line to: "Yet when I needed it, they gave me a hand."
