I AM
I AM
I am strong-minded and determined
My mother would describe me as courageous
I wonder if I’ll ever be as successful as my sister
I hear pressure building in my head
I see my picture on the super team page
I’ve learned to be myself
I want to be the best version of myself as possible
I AM strong-minded and determined
I pretend not to care
I feel the pressure upon my body
I touch the championship ring
I worry my dreams will never come true
I whisper to myself, “You can do it”
I remember how I felt when I hit the breaking point
I cry when I disappoint the people that care about me
I AM strong-minded and determined
I understand I have to work hard to be successful
I say the hard work will pay off
I dream about winning a state title
I try to get better everyday
I hope to make a difference for someone
I keep my first homerun ball
I hide my feelings from everyone
I AM strong-minded and determined
I shout when I lose
I won’t ever give up on my dreams
I can achieve my goals
I’m afraid of failure
I say I’m sorry when I know I’ve messed up
I love the feeling of a win
I declare for the world to hear Hanna Rebar made a difference
I AM strong-minded and determined
