Starting 8th grade and feeling good!

I AM- A poem by Sam Taylor

I am strong and determined

I wonder about my future

I hear a crowd of cheering people

I see a world without disease

I am strong and determined

I pretend to be like everyone else

I feel passionate

I touch others’ hearts

I worry about the results

I cry when I see others in pain

I am strong and determined

I understand things could be worse

I say things happen for a reason

I dream about a pain free life

I try to stay positive

I hope to make a difference

I am strong and determined
