From warm blankets and dog toys on the floor.
I am from the kitchen covered in bacon grease like an iHop.
(Wooden, metal
It smelled like home-cooked meals by mom.)
I am from the magnolia trees surrounding the swamps,
The crape myrtles 
that bloomed in Spring.

I am from crawfish etouffee and stubbornness
From Vijuks and McLaughlins.
I'm from the show up early crew
and the let's talk about it,
from you're strong and watch your mouth.
I'm from I love you
signed with our hands each night.

I'm from Ireland and Scotland
colorful King Cakes and burgers.
From my dad pumping gas to pay for college
The pap-pap who drove a city bust to pay the bills.
Pictures on the wall, words scribbled in a book filled with my life.
I am from those moments--
Nurtured so my roots would have room to grow.]]> 2022-03-10 19:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/TWilson_ELA/c1s4gmve3s0exfbk/wish/2089057316 Where I'm From (Sienna Butts) siennabuttsrr https://padlet.com/TWilson_ELA/c1s4gmve3s0exfbk/wish/2089066580 I am from torn-up shoes,
From drawing notebooks and school computers
I am from the dog-hair infested room
(messy, cluttered)
It smelled like dusty makeup and fluffy dog hair
I am from the pretty rosebush,
The old, lanky cedar trees
whose leaves fell gracefully

I am from piping hot chili and exciting times,
From Jake and Virginia
I'm from the computer geeks
and the comforting times
From ''take your time'' and ''do your best''
I'm from ''Your problems do matter
Even if everyone else
Has it worse''

I'm from clear snow and tall trees,
buttery popcorn and bitter coffee
From having to make breakfast alone at a young age,
To the time he threw a rock at his Teacher trying to throw it at his brother.
When I woke up barely being able to breathe
To hiding under my bed when I was scared 
To sleeping in my closet when I had sleepovers.
I am from those moments--
When the roses wilted in winter and the Trees burned in summer

From my grandparents that have their own little shop in Mexico
The effort my grandpa took by building his house without having any studying skills.
When I went to Mexico for the first time
In the chair I was sitting on when I was 3
From when I was riding a beautiful white horse
I am from those moments--
Where I went to super cool places 
And when I rode that horse for the first and last time.
