Deb and I briefly discussed our "stardom" or "celebrity" in the classroom. Now don't get me wrong, I appreciate a few strokes to the ego like any other grade-fearing student, but when it comes to my star I'd like it to shine on its own. I do not enjoy the classroom spotlight. I would prefer that I sit in the back of the room and flicker on and off at will. But, alas, after my discussion I have decided to get my shine on! Shine on my tutoring sisters and brothers, SHINE ON!
"Lil Star" by Kelis.
(edited lyrics)
There is nothing special about me
I am just a lil star
If it seems like I'm shining brightly
It's probably a reflection of something you already are
Just keep trying and trying
It's just a matter of timing
Though the grinding is tiring
Don't let 'em stop you from smiling
Just keep trying and trying
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
I am just a lil star
If you try to reach out an touch me
you'll see I'm not really that far
I may not be the brightest nor am I the last one you’ll see
But as long as you notice, that’s just fine with me
Everything’s just fine with me
Sooner or later you'll find it
It's surprising how inspiring
It is to see you shining
Cause in the dark of the night you're all i can see
and you sure look like a star to me
There is nothing special about me I am just a lil star
I’ve been running and jumping, but barely
Getting over the bar
I plan on being much more than I am, but that's in do time
But until then I'm guilty, and being humans my crime
