Where Are You From?

I am from

A house under edifice on a calm hill

Living with my parents in a boisterous environment from people working

Cherishing my residence

An incomplete house

Resting with a cozy mattress on the floor

The robust community of San Francisco

This is where I’m from

I am from

Wishing i’ll have job success

Wishing covid will end and everything will go back to normal

Enjoying martial arts, swimming, and math very much

Loving to learn and trying my best do get the job done even if I don’t want to

Thinking through problems even if I think they’re too tough

Doing strategy problems to challenge my mind

This is where I’m from

I am from

My mom assembling a healthy, delicious dinner

Periodically buying takeout when my mom doesn’t want to cook

Setting the table to make cooking easier for my mom

Eating my moms soups energetically because I love them

Having diet needs and having help taking care of them

Occasionally eating not so healthy foods as a treat

This is where I’m from

I am from

A tiny, branched out family

Going traveling to see my family and to see fresh places

A family that also encompasses good friends in the family

Celebrating different holidays in different places with different people

Making delicious cookies for Christmas

Playing with my little cousins during Thanksgiving

This is where I’m from

I am from

Possessing nicknames with my parents but not with friends

Not minding nicknames but having few

A friend group who has similar interests that we discuss

Making friends with similar and different in interests

A kind, compassionate family who I tell my troubles to

Speaking well to other people even if I don’t know them

This is where I’m from

I am from

Getting impacted from COVID because i can’t travel to see my family

Getting interested in COVID because of how it works

Wondering why COVID is happening now

A world changing in many ways, some positive and some negative

Wanting to learn how to focus on the negative change and lessen the negativity

Working hard to also focus on positivity so I don’t become depressed with the negativity

This is where I’m from
