Me (by Emily P.)
 
Some would call me quiet,
Some would call me strange.
I know I can be both of these,
But I hope thatís not all they see.
 
I am American, Texan, and a Christian.
I value my faith, family, and friends.
I'd say Iím fun to be with
And like to get things done.
 
I have a few talents.
I write super creative stories
And play the silver flute.
I also play piano.
 
I also have some good traits.
I'm organized, creative,
And I study hard.
These are qualities that make me different.
 
I'd say Iím pretty honest,
That I have good integrity,
And can be kind-hearted,
But I'm mostly who I want to be.
 
This is ME and no one else!
