Positive outlook initiative and effort
Progress and Friendship encouraging more effort

Expanding my interests building my skills
Effectiveness in work no longer just frills

Humor and focus with higher esteem
Critical thinking my teachers will gleam

Problem solving thinking abstractly
Handicaps dissolving progressing exactly

Now in control My feelings to share
No ones to wonder...MY POTENTIAL BEWARE!
