Identity Poem

At the start of the year, as part of our Who We Are unit, we were thinking about identity. Here is a poem I wrote to share some aspects of my identity.

I am Vincent.

I wonder what created the universe and beyond.

I hear my grandmother talking about us in Belgium.

I see my mom working hard to sustain our family.

I want to see everything the world has to offer.

I am Vincent.

I pretend to be okay when i need somebody.

I feel happy when I am with the right people.

I touch the mouse of the laptop when I play video games.

I worry my great grandmother will die when our family is not there.

I cry when I am hurt.

I am Vincent.

I understand what it’s like to be the new kid.

I say things I regret a lot.

I dream that the world was what everyone wanted it to be.

I try to be something I’m not sometimes.

I am Vincent.

Me, my brother and my friends in the first week of school.
