I AM… Scholarship Slam


I AM

I am Shean Rosario

I am from the Philippines

from the sun and 3 stars

I am from Carson, California

with the perfect weather and the smell of my neighbors barbequing 

I am from the Palm trees and the shade it gives me

 

I am from after church lunches and loud Tagalog conversations

from auntie FIna and uncle Aisel

I'm from family pranks and family gatherings

I'm from getting told not drinking coffee or you won't grow to eating my vegetables to get stronger

and learning the song "Thriller"

 

I am from chicken adobo and lumpia

form when my auntie failed her driving test 4 times

From the family picture in my living room

I am whatever I lived though and whatever i experienced

I am Shean Rosario
