I Am Curiosity


I Am Curiousity

Growing up I was told

You can be whatever you want to be

A singer, actress, dancer

You just have to believe

You go to high school

And they say you can't do this

You can't do that

You have to have good grades 

A perfect SAT score

Or you're going nowhere

I Am Curiousity

Because I don't want to be told what I can and can't do

I want to explore all things and see what's new

I love to travel and explore new places

I'm curious enough to open my mind to new faces

New races

I Am Curiosity

I was declined to all the top universities

But community college helped me fight my uncertainties

I got into UCLA through my curiosity

I don't limit myself to the standard structure of society

Instead I study abroad and travel excitedly

I Am Curiosity 

I have several different passions

Film, Acting, Language, Art 

This is me

and I Am Curiosity
