I AM

I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING

I WONDER IF I COULD BE THE STRONGEST GIRL IN THE WORLD!

I HEAR THE WEIGHTS BANGING AGAINST MY DOOR TRYING TO TELL ME SOMETHING SPECIAL.

I SEE THE WEIGHT DRIFTING IN THE AIR HELPING ME LIFT THE MOST IMPORTANT LIFT EVER.

I WANT TO GO TO EVERY MEET I CAN.

I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING!!!

I PRETEND THAT I CAN LIFT A THOUSAND POUNDS OF GOLD SPARKLING AS BRIGHT AS MY SMILE.

I FEEL THE WEIGHT SHAKING MY HAND WHEN I MAKE AN IMPORTANT LIFT.

I TOUCH THE RUBBERY PLATES AND WHEN I DO, THE PLATES TURN TO GOLD AND SILVER.

I WORRY THAT I MIGHT STOP WEIGHTLIFTING AND RUIN MY DREAM.

I CRY WHEN I MISS A LIFT THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME, BUT VOW TO LIFT IT NEXT TIME.

I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING!!!

I UNDERSTAND THAT I MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST IN EVERY COMPETITION.

I SAY THAT I WILL TRY MY HARDEST AND NEVER GIVE UP!!!

I DREAM THAT I WILL BE A HERO FOR SOMEBODY WHEN I AM OLD.

I TRY TO THINK GOOD THOUGHTS WHEN I HAVE A LIFT TO MAKE.

I HOPE THAT I CAN CONTINUE THIS WONDERFUL SPORT ALL MY LIFE.

I AM A STRONG GIRL WHO LOVES WEIGHTLIFTING!!!
