I felt like a had a million butterflies in my stomach.

A

The Smart Cookie

44
Q

Create anything?

A

The Smart Cookie

45
Q

Gulp!

A

The Smart Cookie

46
Q

When I got home, I immediately went to work.

A

The Smart Cookie

47
Q

At first I tried a cooking project.

A

The Smart Cookie

48
Q

The results were…half-baked.

A

The Smart Cookie

49
Q

Next I tried to hammer and nail something.

A

The Smart Cookie

50
Q

It splintered immediately.

A

The Smart Cookie

51
Q

Then I tried making a sculpture.

A

The Smart Cookie

52
Q

It was a complete bust!

A

The Smart Cookie

53
Q

I wonder if I was about to fail yet another assignment.

A

The Smart Cookie

54
Q

I was stuck.

A

The Smart Cookie

55
Q

I stared out the window and watched the rain hit the river.

A

The Smart Cookie

56
Q

There was something mesmerizing about the water - how it moved in such a chaotic way, swirling around and around, yet ultimately figuring out exactly where it needed to go.

A

The Smart Cookie

57
Q

Suddenly I had an idea.

A

The Smart Cookie

58
Q

I decided to write something original.

A

The Smart Cookie

59
Q

A poem!

A

The Smart Cookie

60
Q

I came up with a title, based on how I was feeling: “My Crumby Days.”

A

The Smart Cookie

61
Q

After that, the rest of it seemed to fall into place,

A

The Smart Cookie

62
Q

I wrote. And I wrote.

A

The Smart Cookie

63
Q

I lost track of time.

A

The Smart Cookie

64
Q

An hour went by in a flash.

A

The Smart Cookie

65
Q

AHA! I said when I was finished.

A

The Smart Cookie

66
Q

I couldn’t sleep that night.

A

The Smart Cookie

67
Q

But it wasn’t because I was worried.

A

The Smart Cookie

68
Q

It was because I was excited.

A

The Smart Cookie

69
Q

I felt like I had really accomplished something.

A

The Smart Cookie

70
Q

I felt…smart.

A

The Smart Cookie

71
Q

One kid showed off his original frosting art.

A

The Smart Cookie

72
Q

Another kid revealed her sprinkle distribution machine.

A

The Smart Cookie

73
Q

It was neat seeing how everyone was good at such different things.

A

The Smart Cookie

74
Q

“Would you like to share anything?” she asked.

A

The Smart Cookie

75
Q

“Gulp!” I gulped.

A

The Smart Cookie

76
Q

I thought I would probably crumble under the pressure.

A

The Smart Cookie

77
Q

But I made my way to the front of the classroom.

A

The Smart Cookie

78
Q

I noticed my hands were shaking.

A

The Smart Cookie

79
Q

My mouth went dry.

A

The Smart Cookie

80
Q

“This poem is called ‘My Crumby Days,’” I said, my voice cracking.

A

The Smart Cookie

81
Q

And then I read it aloud.

A

The Smart Cookie

82
Q

As I spoke, I noticed some kids nodding at certain lines.

A

The Smart Cookie

83
Q

Other kids laughed at parts that were supposed to be funny.

A

The Smart Cookie

84
Q

As I built toward the finale, I felt myself becoming more confidant and animated.

A

The Smart Cookie

85
Q

And in the end, everybody clapped and cheered!

A

The Smart Cookie

86
Q

I promise you this: I’ll never, ever forget it.

A

The Smart Cookie

87
Q

“No one but you could’ve written that poem,” she said.

A

The Smart Cookie

88
Q

“It was completely original.”

A

The Smart Cookie

89
Q

I had done it.

A

The Smart Cookie

90
Q

I’d created something and shared it with the world.

A

The Smart Cookie

91
Q

Well…my world, at least.

A

The Smart Cookie

92
Q

The rest of the day was a blur.

A

The Smart Cookie

93
Q

By recess, I was already planning my next poem.

A

The Smart Cookie

94
Q

I would call it “My Sweet Morning.”

A

The Smart Cookie

95
Q

“AHA!” I thought when I came up with the title.

A

The Smart Cookie

96
Q

It said I should keep on writing, no matter what.

A

The Smart Cookie

97
Q

That meant so much to me.

A

The Smart Cookie

98
Q

School was a bit different after that.

A

The Smart Cookie

99
Q

I wasn’t so scared to raise my hand or ask a question…or share my work.

A

The Smart Cookie

100
Q

But now I know you can be smart in many different ways.

A

The Smart Cookie

101
Q

You don’t have to have the answers to every question or suddenly be great at everything, all at once.

A

The Smart Cookie

102
Q

You just need a chance to try all kinds of things, to find out who you are and what you like to do.

A

The Smart Cookie

103
Q

As for me, I learned that I can write and I can think up great ideas.

A

The Smart Cookie

104
Q

And I’ve found plenty of other things I’m good at, too.

A

The Smart Cookie

105
Q

I no longer feel lost at sea.

A

The Smart Cookie

106
Q

It’s more like floating down a river.

A

The Smart Cookie

107
Q

And the best part is: There’s always more to learn!
