who am i?
in every bit of my splendour, credit myself for the smallest of the glory?

i am an average girl. so average i don't exactly think too great of myself.

i have a few groups of lovely friends from the varsity, a few good friends whom i have kept in contact with from primary school to secondary and friends from cca in my JC days whom i adore. i don't exactly have fantastic family background, but i do have good support from my mommy and sister. my church friends are my source of spiritual encouragement and great fun in times of distress or joy.

i manage to be alright at some things too. i can act quite well and am a drama queen. i like to write and thankfully, i can do it tastefully. i speak eloquently as well, maybe not as fabulously as many public speakers, but i do get by. i am a normal leader; always digressing, always guilty of many booboos my young ones commit as well. i have a happy smile which people can agree with. i enjoy singing but sometimes i can get it very wrong.

i am almost borderline at my studies. i don't do too well, neither do i do too badly. i know i am not born too intelligent, so i use dilligence to make up for it. whenever i write essays or go for exams, i get nervous because i know i am not endowed with the best of the talent. i have my occasional slips here and there where i don't do very well.

i am not very attractive; no thick eyebrows or big eyes. i have a pretty awkward height which according to societal standards is indeed so (but i find it fine). i find myself quite fleshy but i am glad that i am healthy. i like my teeth and i think it is probably the only saving grace on me. people will find me a bit goofy looking because i don't mind having a rubber face.

i am an average girl. so average i don't think i can stand out anywhere.

so,
who am i to say that i am strong?
who am i to boast that i have conquered much more than i am born to conquer?
who am i to credit my achievements and how i have turned out to be?
who am i to claim that i am talented and gifted in every way?
