I Am

I am a camper at Young Writers Institute

I am choosing to spend a week writing at The Carnegie Museum of Art

I say what I mean and mean what I say

I am stealth like a ninja, quick like a fox

I am indecisive, I’m never able to put my finger on it

I’m just a girl, but a girl with a dream

I am too dizzy

I am shy if flying into the sky

I like to make my sister say stop causing strife

I am no longer worried about what others think of me

I love to swim, I am a fish

I am fun

I enjoy gardening; talking to and tending my plants

I want to succeed in life

I am an artist, adventurer and writer

I love with every part of my heart

I love my Mom, I love my Dad which I’m always glad to have

I am the know it all who learned I’ll never know it all

I am a strong writer

I am a dedicated and lifelong learner

I will succeed in life
