Anglo-Saxon Boast

Everyone gather around and listen to me preach—
I am Fantastic Fatmeh and I leave people wanting to be me.
Born in Louisiana, New Orleans is where I resign.
Daughter of a businessman and of a hard working mother,
The sister of a high school-er, trying hard to finish strong.
Helpful and caring, a wonder psychologist I shall become.
Everyone will come to me, for I’ll leave them with super smiles.
All-star cheerleader, I cannot be defeated.
My advanced stunts and tumbling leave me unbeatable.
Crowd-craving, I chose to never be alone.
A rhythm giver, I dance to different beats.
A heart renderer, I help others in need.
Achieving honor roll at the scholar-house,
a grade-grubber is what they call me. 
Don’t let foes control my emotions. I defeat them; I always win.
Shopaholic, no one can put together outfits as grand.
My style is unique with a touch of couture.
Everyone has recognized my fabulous nature,
It is not a surprise my boast is leaving you all gawking.
