Where I'm From
Where I’m From
Bre Page
I’m from big Christmases with colorful lights and presents of all sizes.
I’m from big Thanksgivings with too much food for everybody to finish.
I’m from halloween parties and going trick-or-treating.
Doing gymnastics and competing in all-around events.
I’m from basketball where the coach begged me to play for two years.
I’m from volleyball and making the 7th grade with my current varsity volleyball teammates.
Glenn Westlake middle school “friends” bullying me and threatening me with a big metal crutch.
I’m from my best friends choosing others over me and pissing me off.
I’m from my strong but sensitive mother who struggled to keep us happy even if it meant her getting out of bed when she's sick with green ooze dripping from her nose.
Where my little abuelita is working hard and pushing everyone to do their best.
Being bullied and shunned by my dance teammates who hated my abilities and sharing experiences and memories on Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram.
But also overcoming all my challenges in life to become who I am today.
