I am a person that cares about others
I wonder how homeless people survive in the winter.
I hear ants crawling for a hose.
I am a person that cares about others.
I pretend that I am playing snakes and ladders in space.
I feel happy when I go to Cold Rock.
I touch the sun when I imagine what I can do.
I worry about my family.
I cry when my sister hurts me.
I understand that I need to be grateful.
I say that my family is great.
I dream that one day I would become a doctor.
I try my best in everything.
I hope one day that there is going to be more shelter.
