CU Upward Bound Speaks! Vol. 2
I will always love her because she will always love me. I will graduate as a Native American woman, representing my tribe and my pride. No one will stop me from being Southern Ute. I am me. I will feel on top of the world, stepping on the stage the day I graduate, proving the people who doubted me wrong. I will walk up to get my diploma, seeing my family in the crowd watching me and feeling proud of me. As the warm tears fall from my eyes, I will shake the hands of the people who gave me a future to have. Now, I will build my family and community.
