Where I'm From
  I am from a foreign land,
  a place that people look confused when you tell them the name.
  Pool Road, where I ride around on a dump truck pretending and playing games.
  I was young and experimental.
  I am from a basement,
  a place for storage and darkness, we turned it into our home at the age of two.
  At the time I was lucky enough to have a roof and a hand me down shoe.
  I was fortunate and thankful.
  I am from Oconomowoc,
  I learned how to play my favorite sport. Full days in the yard felt like a requirement.
  I was figuring out how to apply my dad's “life lessons” with enjoyment.
  I was hard-working and learning.
  I am from Hartland,
  where I trained, ready to take the world on,
  using my dad’s advice to make me the best academically and athletically I can be. 
  I was ready and able.
  I am now a captain of the team,
  Using the team theme of “3”
  Being the best player that I can be.
  I am young, thankful, hard-working, and ready for the next challenge.
