I AM

by

Nicole Contrino

I am now a seventh grader

I wonder if I will be able to graduate in my senior year

I hear families talking about how much they love their kids

I see myself in a big heart with love and care

I want to be a type of nurse to children and others

I am now a seventh grader

I pretend I have a brother and sister

I feel like a warm blanket when my family hugs me

I touch the lives of my mom and family

I worry about other children with my syndrome

I cry when people have passed away in my family

I am now a seventh grader

I understand how hard it is to study

I say to myself I am glad to have a great mother and family

I dream of my family and friends

I try to pass my classes

I hope to have kids and a husband

I will be an eighth grader
