The poem is pretty short, but sometimes, something small says a lot. It doesn't make a lot of sense, but it's a good quote. The style that the author used is, some slashes, and the i's are lower cased.

This person clearly used to do lots of things and my best guess is sports and hobbies but then the second line is saying that now he/she has branched out and now does more things

This person I think is saying that he/she was something small and unrecognizable with he/she's actions but they've changed for the greater good and become something bigger. Something better and does something that he/she can be recognized for. Maybe even appreciated for/or from doing

The author forgot her upper cases and periods and my evidence is in both paragraphs she would need an upper case and at the end she forgot a period and upper cases and periods are important. ~ See you all tomorrow!!!

I believe the poem is very interesting and my thoughts are in what ways has their life become more evidence from the text is I used be other things now I'm more and that could be in sports, or as a citizen and many other roles in the taking place in the world or just for yourself.

I think the person was very active and talented, being able to do different things. Now, they can do the same things, except they have learned, explored, and done more, which has taught them more about the world and themselves.

I think the poem is saying that a person does change overtime ,but you also stay the same for example I am me now I'm going to change overtime but I will always be the same Eeyore.

I thought that the poem was very interesting and my thoughts were in the story when he/she said "I used to be a lot of things" "now I am more" and this quote is very powerful because that could mean so much more like as a citizen or a athlete.

I think the poem is trying to say that he/she was good at some things but like Zoella said over time they've learned new things and have more talents and taught themselves new things.

I think the poem means that before, you used to be a lot of things like smart, kind, etc. But now, you are even smarter, and kinder. As you get older, you tend to improve in a lot of things like being smarter, kinder, or being a better writer! So, you used to be a lot of things, but now you are even more!
