Autobiographical Poem

Sophia

Eager, bodacious, math whiz

Daughter of Elizabeth and Zack

Who loves chocolate

Who feels happy about eating

Who needs men and oatmeal

Who gives hard answers

Who fears candy canes 

Who'd like to see Nigeria

Who dreams of a taste of life

Student of radical ideas

Sophia

 I am an original

I pretend not to care 

I feel certain each time I enter a room 

I touch anything that is easy to get 

I worry about random things 

I cry for my Dad

I am not a mess

 I Am Poem by Sophia Nelson

I am Sophia.

I understand that I am a tough woman.

I say help me.

I dream of a better life.

I hope many people are great at hearing me.

I am rare. 

 What can you do today that you couldn't do a year ago?

I can letter board for much longer. This makes me happy. Letter boarding lets me communicate more independently. 

 Write about a skill or talent you have that serves you well.

I can understand a lot of things. People don't expect that.  I am very smart. 

What is something that sparks your curiosity and inspires your interest? 

I am interested in science. Neuroscience is fascinating. It is a really hard idea to comprehend.  It is fun to learn. I like getting carried away in it. 

 Write about something that always makes you smile no matter what.

My panda always makes me smile. It never changes. I feel comforted when I look at it.  She is a big, fluffy bear.
