I am from those days on the dock, making mud pies. I am from bike rides to the penny store for candy. I am from the rides my sister and I took in our Barbie jeep. I am from having a big house, to having nowhere to go. I am from a school who all the kids loved, to being the kid who cried at recess because she had no one to plau with. I am from a trailer court, where I found a friend. I am from bullying, and sickness. I am from Corvallis, but became Hamilton. I am from being lost, to being wise. I am from being weak, to being strong. I am from giving up, to trying harder. I am from a world filled with busy roads, when I'd rather walk the path. I am from "Who am I..?", but became "Who I am.".
