Jotting down my life in an unknown language,

Understanding it is not always what it seems,

Doing what I believe is right, following my heart,

Admitting I’m in my own world, where no one can point a judging finger at me

I honor my family and ancestors through my unspoken words and sacred actions,

Smiling through a mask of uncertainty,

Mimicking those who came before me.

Zoe Siegel is a 12-year-old seventh grader at Frank Harrison Middle School in Yarmouth, Maine. She loves to swim, and play softball and soccer. Her favorite sport is swimming.
