I Can
I can… I can complete any task placed before me because people believed in me and had no problem telling me so. I can strive for greatness because others whispered in my ear you can do it. Those words became etched on my heart and ran through my veins. I can face my fears because despite my shortcomings, there is always a lesson to be learned. I can continue to grow because there is always a seed sowed ready to be fed. I can be frustrated and cry, but I know that I cannot stay there. I can be optimistic because I am not defined by others stereotypes. I can encourage people because I never know who is watching me. I can turn those butterflies in my stomach into energy to move forward. I can do all things, because I'm me!
