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
