I AM
I am one of many, belonging to a family, a school, a community.
However, I am also unique, one voice that can break through the silence.
I am a writer, scientist, believer, or wherever my imagination takes me.
I am a teacher, student, and friend, depending on where I am needed.
I am one who has been hurt, gone through hard times.
But these events to not define me. I define them.
I am strong, weak, logical, emotional a person of paradoxes.
I have failed, I have won, and I have experienced everything in between.
I am a person, an overachiever one who is willing to travel long and hard for my goals.
No words of doubt, difficulty, or criticism get in my way.
I am unstoppable, a survivor.
And I am in everyone.
