I Am... Scholarship Slam


Change

At first I was...

A tomboy

A carless slob

An antisocial

Hiding from attention

Then I was..

Not smart enough

Not pretty enough

Not thin enough

Scrounging for acceptance

But now I am

Strong

Independent

Proud

Making a name for myself

But most importantly, I am

Me
