I Am...NOT!


I am not my mother

Who maintains control at all times

I am not my father

Who works hard to provide

I am not my sister

Who gets perfect grades

I am not my brother 

Who is the baby of the family

I AM...

The eldest  of 3 children

The first to go to college

Tired of not winning any scholarships

Stressing with AP classes

A senior trying to get into college

BUT...

I AM..

Brave

For setting the example for my siblings

Couragous

For never giving up 

I AM...

Me.
