Me, Myself, and I


Me

The one thing I concern myself with all day

That one person who is in the way

of all things that are truly important

that time tends to shorten

Like family

Myself

The perosn who is narrow minded on one goal

To practice self-centered meditation on the soul.

Forgets the value of the people we used to love

Putting them below and myself above

I

The one letter word that destroys every relationship

From a row-boat to a battleship.

Beginning with the inside out, we rot and become selfish.

But sometimes, we need a day to ourselves

To take care of our mind, body, and emotional state.

Kate Wallace

I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic for 15 years, allowing me to come from a different background culturally. Struggling with the English language while also being fluent in Spanish helped me overcome my fear of languages and learn French as well. I am my currently my schools mascot, as well as participating in track and cross-country. While living in the DOminican Republic I started my first dance academy when I was 13 years old until I moved to the United States 2 years ago. I am a current ballet/modern dancer at the Tyler JUnior College Academy of Dance.
