I Can

I can stop drinking chocolate milk.
I can stand up for myself.
I can learn how to fly.
I can change the oil in my car.
I can write a poem.
I can drive a car.
I can climb a mountain.
I can eat better.
I can learn how to use a computer.
I can learn to speak a new language.
I can make new friends.
I can do for others.
I can make my life better.
I can learn to ride a bike.
I can learn to sing.
I can learn to whistle.
My life is made up of the
choices I make every day.

Just so, I can make new friends. You have included key elements in this thoughtful piece that we all should have framed on wall. Regards David in NZ
