Katie - I Will Defend


I will defend…

My happiness from watching major league baseball
My constant fear of loosing memories
My obnoxious and big family
My annoying loud voice
My country accent
My bad driving
My big hair
My Saints
My God
My talents
My obsessions
My love for carbs
My friend’s actions
My overuse of paper
My school and its beauty
My hour long daily commute
My naming of electronic devices
My mainstream and obnoxious music
My singing of Christmas songs in October
My actions and never trying to do things half hearted

I will defend me…

Katie, age 16
