I Am From
I am from Catholic School, sporting events, and extra curriculars.
I am from sweaty shin guards and goalie gloves, teen titans and plaid.
I am from books that take you on adventures
and pizza for dinner on practice nights.
I am from homemade pierogies and sauerkraut,
that carry on a family tradition.
I am from the glistening stars in the night sky, guiding my decisions when I ask why.
I am from the unknown, the fearless, the brave
who always seem to break down when things are grave.
I am from parents that could be my friend's grandparents.
I am from late nights at school, enhancing my theatrical abilities, and late nights studying to pass my classes.
I am from leadership opportunities that arise because of my skills.
I am from a family that cares about my endeavors, and doesn’t hesitate to give their support.
I am from a loud family, that knows everyone wherever they go.
I am from long summers, spent with family at parties and by the beach.
I am from an area that is financially struggling, but somehow we manage to overcome our obstacles for the betterment of our family.
I am from memories.
Without them I would not know who I am today.
