I believe by Kayla Blanco
I believe in making friends and to love them I believe in being yourself not anyone else I believe in expressing yourself letting people know who you really are I believe in picking/choosing true friends not letting them hurt you I believe in dancing showing people you are talented I believe in being confident not showing you’re afraid And I believe in passion doing things you love.

Thank you Lovely Dreams by Genesis Paredes
I will put in my dreams The lovely night kisses of my mom The tight hugs I get from people, The light of the stars in a summer night. I will put in my dreams My lovely imagination The roof I have over me The scary stories in the night. I will put in my dreams The birds soaring through the sky The rainbow over the rain My favorite outfits. I will put into my dreams my inspiration and my achievements. I will put into my dreams the sun over the rain.
