                     I am somebody,

             I was somebody when I came,

and I will be a better somebody when I leave.

                        I am powerful,

                         I am strong,

and I deserve the education that I get here.

                  I have things to do,

                    people to impress,

                            places to go,

                       I am a scholar,

              go ahead and watch me grow!
