The phrase "today I am a poem" reveals that María put a lot of thought into her outfit and that she is very proud of all the things and people each piece represents.

<h3>Who is María?</h3>

The main character and narrator in "Excerpt from ‘Who Are You Today, María?’ from Call Me María," María is a girl who has to dress up as herself to go to school. That means this is the first time the school has allowed students to wear whatever they like for a day.

However, there is a purpose behind that. Students should choose an outfit that represents who they really are. A teacher even asks, "are you going to walk around as a joke or as a poem?"

María decides to be a poem. Even if her outfit - or costume, as she says - does not look okay, each piece has a meaning and represents someone she loves. When María says, "today I am a poem," she shows she is proud of who she is and her heritage.
