(A/N: I made this in LA. Just another assignment I don't know what to do with.)

I am from a small living room in a small house

to a three floored duplex with a cold stone basement.

From an awkward silence at dinner

to loud family reunions with people I don’t know.

I am from midnight Pascha services

to early morning Christmas brunch at my Grandparents.

I am from thick hard covered books

to muddy soccer fields and standing in the goal.

I am from my dad coaching me from the sidelines

to late night reading and popcorn eating.

I am from arms filled with piles of books

to my team slapping me on the back and celebrating.

I am from running in unfamiliar neighborhoods and getting lost.

To running next to other girls on a track at howard wood.

I am from wearing a purple tutu with snow boots

to wearing polka dot dresses.

I am from getting my sisters in trouble

to getting in trouble myself.

I am from straight A’s in elementary school

to straight A’s in middle school.

I am from sitting in the spaceship reading during recess

to reading during lunch and freetime.

I’m from walking through the dirty street of Sioux Falls

to hiking towards the ‘M’ in Bozeman, Montana.

I am from my moms personalities

to my dads sports interests and beyond.

I am from my family and friends and everybody I love.
