The alarm rings loud

It's time to get up

another school day has begun

I must find clothes that match

and brush my teeth and hair

The noisy school bus stops

and I get in..

I say Good morning to my teacher,

take a deep breath and sit at my

desk, so many words, numbers

and rules

I try to listen, I don't understand

I get scared, I want to cry

I don't think I can do this

but I will try

Close my eyes and see the word

I get so nervous, but then I smile

I got it right, I feel so glad

I can't be perfect, but I can try

My name is Rachel, and I'm here to say

I am somebody, I have a lot to say

I can't get it right on paper

but give me a chance

Come sit with me, listen and see

you, will find the real me, ask, look

and listen then you will know

That you have found, the who in me

My verbal intelligence is where I will be
