"Where I am From", by Tomsen R.
Copyright © 2000, Age 10
I am from Sunday dinners with my aunt, uncle and grandparents.
I am from eating steaming hot lasagna with garlic toast and having cool fruit smoothies on hot summer nights.
I am from having friends spend the night, sleeping in, and watching favorite cartoons in the morning.
I am from waking up early in the morning and watching the moving van drive away into the fog.
I am from packing my skiing gear at night and waking up at 5:00 in the morning to drive to Willamette Pass before lots of people get there.
I am from sleeping in the car in the dark when my family leaves to go to California.
I am from reading scriptures and having family prayer.
I am from going to P.E. every day to practice square dancing.
I am from playing my favorite computer games after school and doing my homework.
I am from riding fold-up scooters after dinner when it's cool.
I am from waking up, getting in the car, and driving to the airport to get on a plane for Florida.
I am from going to national parks and smelling the sweet smell of pine needles.
I am from reading my favorite books well into the night.
I am from staying inside on rainy days to play board games and computer.
I am from getting muddy playing with my soccer team in the rain.
I am from picking juicy berries and smelling rotting wood and fermenting fruit.
I always throw some berries at my brother and when I get home I have stained hands and clothes.
I am from sleeping in comfortable bunk beds at night.
I am from building lincoln log forts and destroying my brother's.
I am from playing with legos with my brother.
I am from falling out a second story window and getting a teddy bear from the ambulance.
I am from camping in different places every summer.
I am from feeding my fish every morning and evening.
I am from of all these things but there are still many experiences I am going to.
