Youth Voice: Williams
You helped me BELIEVE
Lasha Williams
7th grade
Rochester, NY

You helped me BELIEVE

You helped me believe I can be anything I want to be
You helped me see dreams can be a reality
You let me know I can be what I want to be if I work hard,
There can be success you see
Now You make it possible for people like me living in the ghetto living on the street
I don't want to be a dummy
I don't want to be a fool
I want to get A's and do good in school

You're trying to make a change
The future is for me
So I want to go to college and raise my own family

So in my heart
I really believe
Now that you are president- you have changed things for me

Now I know I can be anything I WANT to
Because you help me
BELIEVE
