Pleased To Meet You

I am whoever I want to be;

I have the capability to choose.  

I could be an artist with my masterpieces

Adorning the walls of the Metropolitan.

I could be a mad scientist with the hopes

Of discovering the cure to a malignant disease.

I could be a teacher planting the seeds of inspiration

In order for young minds to grow.  

I could be a police officer

Risking my life on a daily basis to protect citizens.

The possibilities are endless…

On second thought, maybe I’ll just be me.

A typical, Wisconsin teenager with a strange

Addiction to cheese (or food in general).

A girl whose love for dance and swim

Has gone above and beyond what she ever imagined.

Someone who marches on a field during half time

With a drum that weighs 35 pounds… For fun.

A typical, Wisconsin teenager who considers

60 degree weather ideal for wearing shorts.

A girl with numerous passions, but spending time

With her family and friends will always come first.

Someone who can’t procrastinate for the life of her,

And is often called a perfectionist.

A typical, Wisconsin teenager who is a diehard

Badger, Packer, and Brewer fan.

A girl whose dream career is working with animals

Because she grew up with dogs.

Someone dedicated, supportive,

Honest, and trustworthy.

I am whoever I want to be;

I have the capability to choose.  

My name is Alexis Elizabeth,

Pleased to meet you.
