The world gives me absolutely everything

Life, Love, Friends, School, Laughter, Death, Sadness, Happiness

My list can go on for days

But what do I give in return? I honestly don’t know sometimes

I am constantly looking for the answer to that essential question

It reminds me of finding nemo

Looking for something that might not even be there

I make mistakes, but I learn from them

I try to be the best daughter I can be and it bores me to tears

I get all A’s, I’m always with family and I never get to do what  I want to do

I give problems- a lot of them

I can fill a room with them. They can make a line like the ones at the dmv and go around the building 500 times. If they were people, they can fill a stadium.

Problems as little as losing my brother’s toy, or problems like disappointing my parents

I remember the first time my dad told me he was disappointed in me

I cried for hours and hours because I had never heard those words before, it was the only time I heard those words

It was like finding out Santa doesn’t really exist. It was just one of those things I never thought I’d hear

Ever since that day, I have strived to be that perfect person but in reality I feel like that can never be me

When I was younger I gave fun and joy to my family

I was like a firecracker making everything exciting

I used to play with them and bring a smile to their face

When I get older I will give wisdom and stories just like my grandpa used to

He would take me to the liquor store everyday and buy me and my sister chamoy

That is one of my best memories with him but I had so much more

He made me believe that I can be whatever I wanted

An astronaut, the President, He taught me anything I wanted to learn

When I grow up I want to be like him

Caring. Compassionate. Happy.

If I were crying he’d make me laugh

I wish that my smiles were contagious like my yawns

When they first asked this question I had no idea what to say

But I realized that if everyday I can make someone’s day brighter, that is enough
