I am from a valley full of tall, green trees and soaring buildings on every block
I am from strong-minded and caring parents
They made me a strong-minded woman
I am from nightly gossip with my grandmother
And from two balls of floof and a talking bird
I am from pumpkins to Christmas lights
Holidays bring me joy
I am from crepes, tiramisu, and salads galore
Through studying and completing homework in advance during the night, I am hardworking
I am from tutoring the younger generation in mathematics
Expanding knowledge and understanding of this subject is my passion
I am from weaving a hook through soft yarn and relaxing on hard days
I am from chocolate and coffee
Sweets are my weakness
I am from an only child
My closest friends are like my siblings
I am from mental mountains and trenches
Some higher, some lower
I am from late-night dinners with my friend on a random Tuesday
Our favorite spot is Jinky’s Cafe
I am from long walks on Malibu beach with my family
From a culture with a vast history
I am me
