When people underestimate me I prove them wrong

Sometimes people see me as just a smart person
But I say I’m an “A” student

Quiet
But I say I’m a thinker

Someone who knows
But sometimes I don’t have the answers

Just a cookie vendor
But I’m a passionate Girl Scout

A money taker
But I’m a top seller

Thin
But I’m a capable equestrian

Weird
But I’m unique

My friends often see me as nice, kind, and helpful
And they’re right

People who don’t know me but only see my skin color think
I’m not nice
I’m dumb
I’m mean
I’m disrespectful
But I know that I am
Caring
Smart
Worthy
A person to be respected

I Am an
Equestrian
“A” student
Acolyte
Girl Scout
Dancer
Cheerleader
Theater/drama club lover
Smart
Strong
Born a preemie
Overcomer
Beautiful
Black girl
When people underestimate me I prove them wrong
