I stay true to who I am! REFRAIN

I learn from my mistakes! REFRAIN

(5) I know that I am loved;
I know that I am loved! REFRAIN

(6) I can make wise decisions;
I can make wise decisions! REFRAIN

(7) I choose my friends wisely;
I choose my friends wisely! REFRAIN

(8) I handle problems calmly;
I handle problems calmly! REFRAIN
