When I Grow Up

Missy (Grade 06 / Harvest Preparatory) Originally published May 2004

I might be a doctor and help the sick.
I might be a dancer of hip-hop and slick.
I might be a teacher and teach the school.
I might be the president, yeah that’s cool.
I will be a person that learns, earns and gives.
I will be a person that helps the good will.

I will be a person that will give in order to receive.
I will be a person that never gives up and believes.
