I am from…..

A people-filled city with cars everywhere on the  streets 

Police sirens spreading their loud noise through the city

A tree as tall as a house on my street

I am from 

My dog running around the house

Older sister going to volleyball tournaments

I am from…..

My future where I hope to get into good schools playing the sports I love

Hoping to be successful being a doctor and helping people

And hoping for an end to COVID 

I am from…..

Eating pepperoni pizza with friends and family

Having something different on my plate for dinner

Eating turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving

I am from…..

Every year me, my grandma, sister, and mom, going to the Nutcracker and listening to the big echoing orchestra in the War Memorial Opera House

Baking oatmeal and raisin cookies with my grandma and sister near Christmas time in my grandma’s kitchen 

Staying up till 12AM on New Years with my family, watching a movie

Hearing huge fireworks

I am from…..

People saying I’m thoughtful, kind, have good style, and that I’m  friendly, funny 

And saying that I have good manners 

I am from…..

People wearing masks all around me 

Cable cars going through San Francisco’s streets

And busy streets of the city

This is where I’m from
