My name is Carla
C for courageous, ready to take on the world and
obstacles that come my way.
A for accomplash, for completing my goals.
R for reliable, because i have enough to give.
L loveable, because i have enough to give.
A for armor, armor that i provide for my daughter to
protect her from danger.
Yesterday my name was sensitive
if you thouched me i would shatter like glass.
Touch me and my heart will cry, crying salt water
from the ocean in my eyes.
Tomorrow my name will be speak able
heard by every person who thinks that
immigrants come here to take away.
People who think teen parents cant graduate.
Who's opinoins are the kids that come from a
broken family become as their parents once
did.
In my dreams my name was strong
powerful enough to make me rise
over the crowd of people and be notice.
To warn the crowd that i've reached my goal
and make space for my proud ness.
Secretly i know my name is unstep able,
unable for people to step on the roots of
my family tree.
To let the worldknow that Carla Oliva
stands with her head up high and wont
see her with it down.

I also really like your choices of words
Carla I think your poem is really good!!! I loved how you included the part of armor to protect your daughter. I also really liked where you talked about how people think that teen parents can't graduate which is so not true.We can be successful and we will be no matter what.
