The Glo'Up
When I was little I dreamt,small
I dreamt of being a princess and attending balls
Life looked so easy in the eyes of a four year old who believed in kissing a frog
Changing into a prince which would turn me into a beautiful princess overall
Times flies fast and I’m now sixteen, Twelve years later
Look at what kind of princess I turned out to be
I realized life isn’t that easy as I remembered through my four year old eyes
I realized I must change my mindset to survive
Changing my mindset made me find my call
Was Track and Field my calling
My calling to survive it all
It had to be, I thought
I mean, I could continue to contemplate about life choices I can easily create,
But instead I decided to lead down the sports pathway
Track and Field wasn’t just my calling, it was my destiny to fulfill
With the swiftness of me moving my arms and the quickness of me picking up my feet
Running track granted me with a clear conscience of me thinking but not out loud
I was able to visualize the bigger picture of my future, which is now in my hands and
Suddenly I have a plan
This is how I glo-up
This is how I shine
This is how this sixteen year old changed her mind
No more princess fairy tales, only D1 scholarships and travelling the world with a Nike sponsorship
That's my goal, that’s my plan
Twelve years later, I’m sixteen with a goal which I plan to achieve
If you grant me this scholarship money to succeed
