My Life
By ARAOLUWA A.
Sankofa

Today my name is Araoluwa and i am happy and loving
I feel great and proud of my name always cos it says alot about my origin
I always pretend to be a mother to my little sister
I used to be shy and quiet but still loved myself
Yesterday i saw 2 birds playing outside of my window but my mom didn't allow me out cos of the covid-19
My name means wonder of the Lord and it originated from the yoruba tribe in Nigeria
In the future, i want to be a doctor, singer and a ballerina
I will like to solve a problem with my speech and word pronunciation
I will like to yield to the advise of my mom to always be at my best in all my doings
My name is reacting to change the best way I can.
