I Have Lots of Substance

By Erika (Mililani), age 11 

My substance is softball because I can yell and cheer.
My substance is science because I want to become a doctor and help people.
My substance is music because it helps me calm down from different things.
My substance is determination because I am always determined to do things.
My substance is perseverance because I never give up on what I am doing.
My substance is smiles because that means people are happy and that gives me a smile.
