Where I’m From

I am from my-

Past,

Present, and

Future

I am from-

The multicolored sugar cookies my mother taught me to bake.

The small trees my mother forced me to eat she called broccoli,

This is now my favorite veggie.

      • The nachos on a Friday night with my family and friends,
          • While we watch one of our favorite movies.

I am from-

Books,

Filled with endless adventures.

Movies,

That overflow my imagination.

My dog,

The only one I confide in.

My cell phone,

My life in such a small package.

I am from-

Late summer nights playing

Hide- and-go-seek

                  Bike riding the entire day,

Just because.

Football, volleyball, and softball,

Which all built my character while having fun and making memories to last a lifetime.

Endless days at the beach

Soaking up the sun.

I am from-

Childhood heroes such as:

Superman, Santa,

My parents, and Eli Manning;

Who all taught me to never give up.

I am from-

"You can sleep when you die."

"Never give up."

And

"We’re so proud of you."

Which all pushed me through all the hard times

And struggles in my life.
