I Want To Grow Up To Be A Advocate


I want to grow up to be an advocate of people with ADHD/ADD 
Someone who understands what being misunderstood is
Help others to understand what I felt in my years at OMS
Help teachers support their students’ feelings of hatred, of sadness
Conscious of children's feelings of worry, of fright, of frustration
Aware that everyone is unique, aware of loss of family and friends
Deliberate about the words I choose to say to others
Delighted that people will listen to my words of caution 
Cheerful about others sharing their stories of sadness and worry
I am growing up to be an advocate who shares her journey and of the hardships fate have dealt her.

EAT SLEEP AND BREATHE POETRY

I am a teenage girl who has been writing poetry for a good three or four years. I have always been into the great Emily Dickinson, but my belief is that I was NOT the one who made the decision to start writing poetry, that it was actually God who made that choice. From the very first poem I wrote on, my love of all that is poetry has increased greatly as has my love for God.
