What Do You Want to Be?

When I was little

All I ever heard

Was how everyone wanted to be

Superheroes

Ballerinas

Power Rangers

And Princesses

But I couldn’t help but think

That I.

Just want.

To be

Me.

As we grew older

The answer to

“What do you want to be

When you grow up?”

Matured.

Vets

Lawyers

Politicians

And Scientists.

Yet still

I Just

Wanted.

To be.

Me.

Then...

Then something funny

Happened.

A silly man

With a tie that never stayed straight...

A man with coffee stains and a passion

For change

Entered my life.

This man taught me that

That passion?

That emotion your feeling?

That IS you.

That IS who you are.

That IS what you need to

Share with the world...

What you need to harness...

A tool you MUST utilize in EVERYTHING

You do.

Many people say

“I work with...”

But me?

I AM a teacher

An educator

A guiding hand

With a gentle

Passionate

Soul. 

That is who I am.

THAT is me.
