I am poem - Sam H.



I am a soccer player, a daughter, a friend, a sister, a cousin, a granddaughter, a student, a teammate, a leader.
I wonder who I would be without my family.
I hear the sound of cheering as I step onto the field.
I want to become someone that people look up to.
I am a soccer player, a daughter, a friend, a sister, a cousin, a granddaughter, a student, a teammate, a leader.

I pretend that I am playing in a huge stadium with thousands of people watching.
I feel the ball at my feet and support and confidence of my teammates.
I touch the sweat dripping down my face as a sprint to win the tackle.
I worry that I will let my team down.
I am a soccer player, a daughter, a friend, a sister, a cousin, a granddaughter, a student, a teammate, a leader.

I understand that I will succeed in all that I do if I out my mind to it.
I say my family is my team, and my team is my family.
I dream to be an incredible soccer player, and an incredible role model.
I try my hardest to become all that I can become.
I hope that I inspire people to persevere and achieve their dreams.
I am soccer player, a daughter, a friend, a sister, a cousin, a granddaughter, a student, a teammate, a leader.

Mike Hasley needs our help...

Hi,

For those students who I might have met last week during my observations, I just wanted to thank you for letting me ask you questions and allowing me to respond with you during the live blogging. You’re all doing some great stuff in your English classes. I wanted to ask you a question because it comes up a lot these days, and the question is, “What does ‘the real world’ mean to you?”

So if you could go to the link below and respond to the question directly on my blog, it would be very helpful. I’m also asking students at my school in Virginia to see if students from different states have the same perspective.
