Photography and Poem By Ingrid Otterson
Who was I? A young boy in South Dakota Trapped in a place so open and empty Yet also so small Filled with uncertainty Timid and shy Lost in the thoughts Of the people around me I recall a time When I broke the board I got my black belt And the whole crowd cheered But that was so long ago Who am I now? Here I am Almost brand new What change I have made! I have my own thoughts I came out of my shell I grew in my confidence My growth came so well A man in Minneapolis A student in school A trumpeter in the band Change is what excites me, So does sustainability And Hope. I think all of this now But who will I become? Who will I be? An engineer in Boston Designing roads And learning so much I’ll let go of the uncertainty And think of my happiness With Mara as my wife And I’ll I’ve accomplished in my young life
