I Am . . .

I am optimistic and smart
I wonder how radios work
I hear soft wind chimes
I see the beach with baby blue water
I want to go to Puerta Vallarta

I am optimistic and smart
I pretend to be a teacher
I feel glad when I stay with my family
I touch a bird's feathers
I worry when I am alone with my sister

I am optimistic and smart
I understand English and Español
I cried when my uncle died
I dream that my uncle is with me
I try to speak Italian
I am optimistic and smart
