I am from
roller skating on the weekends,
riding four-wheelers,
and crashing the golf cart into a tree.
I am from
Appleton, Wisconsin,
moved my junior year of high s[b]chool,
getting another chance to reinvent myself. 
I am from
cluttered toys scattered throughout the basement.
uproarious dogs sprinting,
compact bathroom shared by four.
I am from
Midnight raves with friends,
binge-watching Shameless, Criminal Minds, and Raising Hope.
Playing the piano and flute.
I am from
spending time with family,
going to concerts, kayaking, and
waking up at the dusk of dawn.
I am from
wishing for longer hair, to
  pierce my ears and not wear earrings. . .
experimenting with extensions and different colors.
I am from
      parents expecting c’s or above, to
honesty, hard work, and dependability,
                   trying to set an example.
