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

 

Me at camp looking at the water.

    Who is that?

    Who is that girl?

    The one who’s headed to boarding school in the fall

    With the green eyes

    And big smile

    Who is that girl?

    Who reads books like she’s starving and the words are big, juicy cheeseburgers
