| I AM... |
| Based on an idea from a book of homework done by British schoolchildren, this simple exercise produced some wonderfully evocative writing from all ages. Read some of it on the next few pages... |
| I am Teresa I hear many kinds of music I see my friends, my family� I feel I�m happy I am 12 years old I pretend to be Superwoman I worry about my family I want peace in the world!!! I cry when I�m sad I am a girl I understand words, sentences, dialogues I hope to be a good student I dream about being famous when I grow up I say that I�m a good student! I am Teresa (by Teresa, aged 12) |
| I am Diana I hear tears falling I see nothing routinely true I feel sadness I touch hearts I am Diana I pretend to be happy I worry none I want my life I cry my tears I am Diana I understand others I hope to help I dream daily I try to breathe I say much, nothing I am Diana I sometimes slow down I never stop I love the warmth I need the cold I am Diana (by Diana, age 15) |
