I Am

Ben, my seventh grader, wrote this poem for his writing class. It nicely captures some of his inner world. He is also large of heart.

I Am…

I am small in size, yet large in mind.
I wonder about the mysteries of life.
I hear endless question, and I want answers.
I see all of the world’s problems that need to be solved.
I want solutions to these dilemmas.
I am small in size, yet large in mind.

I pretend to know when I am actually clueless.
I feel a need to learn more.
I touch the hearts of those who need help the most.
I worry about important problems that go unsolved.
I cry when I feel underestimated.
I am small in size, yet large in mind.

I understand that not all questions can be answered.
I say that we should try to answer as many of them as possible.
I dream about a perfect world.
I try to make a perfect world.
I hope to make a perfect world.
I am small in size, yet large in mind.

Another more enigmatic part of Ben's world.

Hi there Someone!

I'm just emailing to say that I had a great time in the NeoLodge, and now its time for me to check out and go back to Neopia!. Thanks for being the best owner ever, and I hope all the other Neopets are jealous :)

Speak to you soon,
