Who I want to be

“Stop being a nerd”

“You’re the smartest kid in the grade”

“You’re a child prodigy”

“You’re an academic weapon”

Okay.

Fine.

Maybe I am.

But 

My grades

or winning a kahoot

is 

not

who

I 

am. 

I get to decide

who 

I am.

I am a cellist.

I am a good friend.

I am good sister and a good daughter.

I love to cook.

I love to be outside.

I’m learning to sew. 

I am my hopes and dreams.

I am who I want to be
