ability to recognize blind

most ignore, and spot path-

My belief in what I cannot see

or hear but in what I feel.

I am tenacious. I am passion- I listen.

ate about what I believe in.

And I’m not afraid to fight

for what I feel is right.

others. Also, knowing who I

am and being true to myself.
