I Am...More

Who am I? 

I am what defines me.

36-Act score.

4.0-GPA.

14-Number of AP courses I have taken.

1-Class Rank. 

This, I am told, is me.

But I am tired. 

Tired of being told that my worth is equated on a 4 or 36 point scale. 

We are filled with numbers and forget there is more.  We get bogged down and consumed. 

I am all of this, but that is not all I am. 

I am a student, but I am more than just a student.

I am a daughter.

Sister.

Friend.

Pet-Owner.

Artist.

Runner.

Athlete.

Musician.

Nature Lover.

American.

Human being. 

I am someone who laughs loudly, who lives passionately, who feels deeply, who occassionally feels overwhelmed or upset, who strives to see the good, and who realizes that I am more.

I am uniquely me, so I cannot be measured by preft meausurements.

I am taking my identity back and letting go of the stats.

I am me, and I love who I am.
