Sophea, a poem

Sophea loves school and learning every day.

She says it helps us grow in every way.

At school, she learns to read and write with care,

And solving problems makes her more aware.

She dreams of teaching children when she’s grown,

And making life much better near her home.

Her parents say, “You can do anything.”

This makes her happy; learning gives her wings.

She smiles and tells her brother, “School is fun.

It opens doors for all when work is done.
