I AM...... Scene III

My classes just finished studying the seven I AM statements Jesus made in the Gospel of John. (Yesterday, Karen Long, my fellow WCS faculty member, noted that in John 10:36, Jesus reminded the leaders that He had stated, "I am the Son of God.") If you aren't familiar with them, here they are!
I am the bread of life.
I am the true vine.
I am the good shepherd.
I am the gate for the sheep.
I am the light of the world.
I am the resurrection and the life.
I am the way, the truth, and the life.
I gave my students the assignment of coming up with their own I AM statements which would define them. Over several nights, I will post some of them. They are brutally honest and all are used with permission, boys in blue and girls in pink!

I am a boy living in a confusing world.
I am a guy who wants to grow up to be a good father.
I am a young man who is a passionate believer in Christ.
I am a boy who wants to hide in the shadows.
I am a boy who trusts little but who is trusted much.
I am a boy who is a silent leader, controlling with actions and not words.
I am a girl who doesn't want to lose people or let them go.
I am a girl who wants to do the right thing in the world.
I am a girl who wants to be safe in her feelings.
I am the boy who is scared of snakes.
I am the boy who is not always obedient to his parents.

I am the boy who is slow to react.
I am the guy with many pairs of shoes.
I am the guy you can always trust.
I am the guy with no confidence.

I am the guy who loves to laugh.
I am the girl who wants to own her own coffee shop.
I am the girl who wants to be a college professor but who isn't good at studying.

I am the girl rarely better than others but who always finds others better than herself.
I am the girl who is dramatic.
