Mika’s Journey: A Daughter’s Mindset, A Dad’s Perspective

Sometimes I sit alone in my room, my kingdom; daydreaming about life. 
What does it mean? 
Where will it take me?
And when will it end?  
Sometimes I sit alone in my kingdom and wonder about what is to come. 
Yes, I want this version of me to be the best.
 
So, new year, same me, different mindset. 
This is my journey, my mantra, my passion.
 
I will respect my parents, teachers, and coaches alike;
To focus on the positive things behind the revolving door.
No time for games unless it’s on the field.
I need healthful foods and ultimate fitness to physically heal –
education to maintain positive grades which appeal
to mom and dad to gain their respect. 
I will speak kindly and never demean anyone less fortunate. 
I am blessed with a house, daily nourishment, and parents that care. 
 
Again, new year, same me, different mindset. 
Follow my journey as I pass every test,
while smiling on my way through the exit.
