"My I Poem"

As his elementary school years come to an end, one of Colter's 5th grade projects has been to write a memoir. It's been a fascinating process and yet another reason I love his teacher -- she knows so well what kids need at this stage in their lives, and what parents need to help us all have closure and move forward. Here's a poem Colter wrote as part of his memoir:

My I Poem
by Colter Lee Moos

I love life
I love video games
I'm 10
I have brown eyes & hair
I'm [in my opinion] funny
I enjoy math
I trust in my brain
I'm prepared for middle school
I play basketball
I hate green food
I dislike sushi
I watch TV
I know I'll die
I will create video games
I want to be rich
I have good friends
I like fun
I enjoy company
I'm turning 11 this week
I'm happy
I can sail
I can speak another language
I believe in myself
I've lost 3 grandparents
I taught someone to sail
