I’m still that little girl. 

I’m still that little girl who is smiling. 

I’m still that little girl who loves playing outside. 

I’m still that little girl who loves staying active. 

I’m still that little girl who loves making people laugh.

I’m still that little girl who can’t stop talking.

I’m still that little girl who gets distracted easily. 

I’m still that little girl who is slow. 

I’m still that little girl who doesn’t get the best grades.  

I’m still that little girl who got in trouble. 

I’m still that little girl who was irresponsible. 

I’m still that little girl who felt left out. 

I’m still that little girl who got yelled at. 

I’m still that little girl who disappointed her parents. 

I’m still that little girl who tried to change. 

I’m still that little girl who wanted to be smart. 

I’m still that little girl who improved. 

I’m still that little girl who made big accomplishments. 

I’m still that little girl who changed. 

I’m still that little girl who is proud of herself. 

But I’m still that little girl who is trying to convince her parents she’s not dumb. 

I’m now that big girl who knows they will never believe me.
