Just Because I’m Asian
Just because I’m Asian It doesn’t mean I’m Chinese Doesn’t mean I enjoy rice
Doesn’t mean I’m tiny and intelligent Get past the stereotypes and try to look at who I really am
Just because I’m Asian
It doesn’t mean I’m cheap Doesn’t mean I can’t drive
Doesn’t mean I play table tennis Don’t judge people on what they look like but on what they are
inside
I am Just a Tall Guy
I am a tall guy who likes sports I wonder what my future is going to be like I hear basketballs bouncing in a jazz rhythm I see myself on the court playing basketball I want to live life to its fullest before I die I am a tall guy who likes to play sports
I pretend that I’m a famous basketball player I feel like dunking on the basketball hoop I touch the smooth, leather basketball I worry about getting a serious injury I cry when I lose a basketball game
I am a tall guy who likes to play sports
I understand that everyone makes mistakes I say that anyone can achieve their dreams
I dream of making it into the NBA I try to do the best I can in everything I do
I hope that I will become a better basketball player I am a tall guy who likes to play sports
Michael Phelps
Michael Phelps Athletic and Wet Swims quickly
As fast as a dolphin If only I was as fast as him
Bill Gates Bill Gates
Rich and smart Thinks intelligently
As famous as movie stars If only I was as rich as him
Excitement Excitement is the color of the sun
It sounds like fire crackers It tastes like pop rocks in your mouth
And smells like chocolate cake Excitement looks like monkeys
jumping up and down And makes you feel like its your
birthday
Music Many instruments
Understanding the key signatures Soothing to the mind
Instruments playing in sync Conductors waving their baton
Seed
Tiny, hard Sitting, sleeping, eating Nut, kernel, acorn,
Growing, branching, blossoming Gigantic, herbaceous
Tree
Job Going to work Doing my duty
Finishing my task Bleeding and sweating Have to do my job
It’s tiring It’s exhausting It’s so boring
Having a job is not fun
