I am From

Beautiful, delicate pieces of art called Legos, strewn all 

across my tiny room.

Sticky stickers that lit up my walls, like a shining star.

Long hours playing with my 4 foot metallic robot friend.


I am From

Thousands of delicious Korean feasts to celebrate a 

special occasion.  

Cold, fizzy doctor pepper mixed with icy Minute Maid 

lemonade.

Long lasting, frozen gatorade on hot days, when the 

Weather felt.


I am From

Making enemies and rivalries among family members, and holding grudges in risk where 

my sister once flipped the board over.

Being sore for many days jumping on the shaded trampoline.

Competing against my sister in video games.


I am From

Exciting sleepovers at my cousin's house, where we stayed up talking all night.

Vibrant trees being climbed by several children at the park, and sitting in the shade.

Long swims in the pool while playing games that exhausted us after we finished.


I am From

Roasting the white, fluffy, gooey marshmallows to a golden brown 

              color, where we would smush it between graham crackers.

Riding all the thrilling rides at disneyland, and walking for miles

               that made our feet sore.

Flying kites that sailed through the wind after swimming in the 

             freezing cold water of the ocean.

 


I am From

Grandma’s echo of musical instruments echoing throughout the house.

Cousins starting Nerf wars that lasted for hours.

Great grandma kneading delicious, sticky, homemade bread dough.


I am From

“Go to your room!”

“You have to wash the dishes for a week!”

“You can always talk to me if you need”

“I’m helping you because I love you”

“I am so proud of you”
