6. I am a singer
I wonder about the songs I sing and what they mean
I hear the sounds of different voices and learn from them
I see the talent I have
I want to try my best and achieve my goals
I am a singer
I pretend to be as good as Bailey Nash
I feel I can go further with my music career if I believe I can
I touch the hearts of people who listen to me sing
I worry I am not good enough
I cry when I cannot get the words or notes right
I am a singer
I understand I may not succeed
I say I will succeed though
I dream of going on the Voice or American idol
I try my best in everything I do
I hope some day I will be famous
I am a Singer

SECTION 5
Definition of a sonnet
My Sonnet
I love going down to Panama
I get to see all my family and eat bananas
The weather is hot and the ocean is cold
All my cousins are fun, and some are old
All the food is delicious
And the old people are sometimes suspicious
My whole family sings
And it rings throughout the house
I love to swim in the ocean
with all the little fishy’s making commotion
All the people are fun
I like to lay in the sun
I can’t wait to go back to Panama
To hang with family and hang around
