I’m from my past
tapping yard sticks
multiplication drills
forgotten math
I am from fear
wrong answers
raising my hand
my teacher's roaming eyes
I am from frustration
anger and resentment
from failure
to learn math
I am from determination
to be a teacher
from math insights
I can't wait to share
I’m from math
yes I’m from math
I’m from math
and so are you |
I am from excitement
new possibilities
making a difference
in the lives of children
I’m from fun math
questions to explore
where peers share
and encourage
I'm from the arts
where numbers can be music
measurement a story
infinity a work of art
I’m from fresh hope
confidence reigning high
exciting and new
insecurity forgotten
I’m from math
yes I’m from math
I’m from math
and so are you |
