Fortaleza
1st Gen Dreamer
They always tell you to chase your dreams.
Laces tied; shoes unclean – reflecting on a younger me.
Eager to learn a career path unseen,
1st gen – not knowing what this journey would mean.
From sleepless nights where thoughts collide,
to endless doubts of imposturous lies.
Somehow, somewhere, a strength to fight.
Oh, tenacious heart,
KEEP OUR DREAM ALIVE.
For the road is tough but bittersweet,
remember why you chose to be.
Not to be the best, but to be a key,
opening doors to care; helping those in need.
You call it brave – a young girl with big dreams,
whose past once impoverished, now finally seen.
Seen as HOPE.
DRIVEN.
BOLD.
Trailblazing a path to heights unknown,
carrying humble roots to always hold.
This 1st gen-dreamer has a story to be told.
From shoes unclean to steps refined,
in every patient, dreams align.
Leaving shoeprints behind,
my purposeful stride;
helping others like me, with dreams like mine.
For the dreams we dream,
WE KEEP ALIVE.
The struggles we face,
RESILIENT – WE RISE.
