"Where I'm From" Digital Story

I’m from the City by the lake

With the lighthouse, a beacon

The place I call “home”

I’m from music

Where the aggressive guitars of rock

And the thundering drums of metal

And the tenacious trumpet of jazz fill the air

Providing an escape from the mundane, the everyday, every which way.

I’m from video games after supper,

From running around the fresh-cut grass, water spraying in every direction,

I’m from story time

Shooting hoops in the driveway

Running up the stairs on hands and feet

To escape the Laundry Room Monster

I’m from the Rugrats,

Power Rangers,

Arthur,

And the crazy square who lives in a pineapple under the sea

I’m from playing in the pillows of freshly fallen leaves

To splashing around in a far too small kiddie pool

I’m from hard work, kindness, and generosity

I am from me
