Ready to Fly
Living in our world
Full of people, places, and things
Finding my identity, and who I want to be.
Entering high school, freshmen year, aspiring to succeed.
I try my best, give all my effort, and work from my heart
And love doing kind things.
I want to be a valuable family member, friend, student, and peer
A caring, considerate character.
Without hesitation, put into action my better impulses.
I will be myself forever in my life, and be a happy person, a smooth sea
I am who I am and love who I am.
Even when the rocky waves come rolling in to shore, I will stay strong
I have control over how I feel and will not let the tides engulf me.
Someday I will give back to the people who support me most
I will go to college, get my dream job, and someday have a family of my own
Continuing to do the things that I love, taking time for relaxation, serenity, and delight
High school doesn’t last long, and you only live once
We cannot wrap time up in a box
I wish to enjoy my time, work hard, and be a stand out person.
The woosh of the wind tells me that it’s time
The years are passing by, and I’m ready to fly.
