a poem I wrote in class

CTE

Love yourself

I am a school girl who likes to smile
I wonder if I could ever become an accountant
I hear soft voices that are encouraging
I see my family jumping with joy
I want to create my own foundation someday to help children
I am a school girl who likes to smile
I pretend that my problems are like the wind
I feel blessed like an angel
I touch a flower in my mom's hair
I worry about my dreams not being accomplished
I cry when I have pain in my heart
I am a school girl who likes to smile
I understand that I can not be loved by everyone
I say that success is my highest priority
I dream one day to be the happiest daughter in the world
I try to read novels about everything
I hope my life will be exceptional
I am a girl who likes to smile
