This Is Me: Judge's Prize Student Poetry Winner 2016 OHC Writing Contest

I am way overdue sharing some of the winning entries from our very successful writing contest that the OHC Writer's Guild gave out last month.    Here is our Judge's prize for highest ranked Judge's entry that did not rand in the top 3 finalists.  It is written by Wayne County student Wendy Dominguez Canela.


This Is Me
by Wendy Dominguez Canela


This is a quiet person
Who is always at one's Service
Though that person does not socialize with others
The few that she does are like sisters or brothers
Or just those random people that she is comfortable with
The best thing about this person in that she is kind, caring, and understanding
She is unique in her sense of fashion and has the qualities of Aries by birth
A lot of time she has moved
But she has many accomplishments she can prove
She has a big family she can always count on
Even the ones that are miles away
She lives in a humble home filled with love
This person aspires to be a successful business owner
Or maybe even a teacher
While she looks plain with curly hair that can either be long or short
And eyes that can be comforting and warm or as cold as snow
She is confident and stands up for what she believes in
And never backs down from a fight
Her passion is music and dancing
Her talents are many and different from each other
She has been in many competitions
With a group of true friends that always have her back
She volunteers in a place where one can travel
Either to different states or countries
Or even different worlds
This place is full of knowledge and peace
She is a good friend and ally
But can be one's worst nightmare
She is a procrastinator which is why her grades suck
She tries to do better but sometimes forgets
That to prove people wrong she has to try hard to succeed in school
