I am From change
Parents apart, houses around Solano
New parents relationships
Friendships and people who fall out of my life
But I am also from Love
Time with my dad falling asleep in his arm on the couch as a girl
Many dogs and toys to fill my arms and my time
Big family and cousins my age
I am from stubbornness
Sitting in my dinner chair squinting my face because I hate most fruits and vegetables
Never wanting to not have a goal or life plan
Not wanting to have below an A
I am from experiences
Seeing firsthand how to be with babies and gain skills
Ride my Great Uncle’s quads in Arizona almost every thanksgiving break
Knowing more country songs then I could imagine from my parents constantly playing them on the radio
Skiing every winter with my dad
Trying many sports even if average at them
I am from independency
Playing in my room by myself with stuffed animals and boxes I drew on
An imagination with peak art skills in the 2nd grade
Choosing to take part in sports in high school
Mapping out what I need to accomplish parts of my future
But I am from my dad
My inspiration to work hard and to change from mistakes
To enjoy life but stay practical
To do your best not just try
To fill gaps when you need to
To do small things for others when they don't realize they need it
For humor, calmness, and support
I am from emotion
Hurt and betrayal you come to realize in life
But pursuing forgiveness and boundaries
To good and bad days being normal
But big feelings don’t need to consume you
But if they do others are there for you
You can miss or wonder what could have been
But the result was the best that could happen
I am from change
I am from support
I am from love
I am from hard work

Kennedy I loved reading your poem. I liked the part where you talked about when you were little and you didn't want to eat your vegetables. The picture you put to with it really shows your character when you were little. I also liked the part where you talked about experience and trying new things even though you may struggle at first. Also I could really relate to the country music playing 24/7 on the radio and not knowing anything other than country music. Loved that I could relate to your poem. You did a very good job!
