Where I'm From

Where I’m from is who I am. Red brick, white wood, chlorine and sand. Library books, bedtime stories, Brown Bear and a red dog. These things are where I’m from. Out for the summer. Offsides in the fall. Free throws with winter. On deck during spring. These phrases are where I’m from. A storytelling mother, a science-loving dad, an athletic little brother. These people are where I'm from. Where I’m from is who I am.
