Whirlwind
My Future
Everyday I think about my future
And what I want to do when I’m older
Because it will be here more than sooner
I want to be Miami’s upholder
I have millions of Olympian dreams
Doing synchronized with my twin brother
They will be here more quickly than it seems
We will be better than every other
We train harder than most of our dive team
Pushing ourselves to our limits is hard
Some people say that we are too extreme
But that is something we just disregard
Winning the Game
All dressed out and ready to win
Everyone’s patience was growing thin
If we lose we will be the blame
This is our very last basketball game
It’s time to jump, the ball flies high
The two girls almost touch the sky
We can have it—all the fame
If we win our very last basketball game
Shots go in; the ball flies all around
Almost never touching the ground
We hardly miss, we have great aim
It looks like we might win this basketball game
I have many role models here for me
They make this journey seem much more easy
~Noah W.
The game is tied, a minute to go
All we need is a very good throw
The crowd is shocked, the other team ashamed
We won our very last basketball game!
