I Am Heather Whitestone (school paper)



I am a deaf woman who has a dream.

I wonder if I’ll ever reach my goal

I hear silence, all the time.

I see my family in the crowd.

I want to be Miss America.

I am a deaf woman who has a dream.



I pretend to be a famous dancer.

I feel the pressure before going on stage.

I touch the crown being set on my head.

I worry about not reaching my goal

I cry when I lose a pageant.

I am a deaf woman who has a dream.



I understand it’s hard work to reach this goal.

I say I’ll make it.

I dream of being on TV, dancing.

I try to dance as much as I can.

I hope to someday dance on TV in front of millions of people.

I am a deaf woman who has a dream.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is another school assment...we had to read a book, do a report and they gave us a format for an I Am poem and act like you were the person in the story.....
