Before, Now and After

Our Principal, Lynne Fielder, shared this wonderful poem with me today, written by one of our students, Sarah. Sarah has given me permission to share it here. Enjoy!

Before, Now and After

Thinking you're different is a terrible thought,
We have all been there.
You feel frustrated, stupid and even scared,
You were made fun of and called names.
Just because you're different,
You felt like you didn't fit in.
But then when you were all alone,
You found a family.

This family made you feel confident,
And even taught you to read, write and even spell.
You feel like you're not the only one anymore,
You don't feel that different or insecure.
No, you feel successful and confident,
Talented and maybe even smart.

Now you can move on with your life
And act like you're the same as everyone else.
No one would know you're that much different than them.
But it's nice to know you are,
Because being different makes you your own person.
