Where I am From

“Where I am From”

The smell of the soap dish
surrounds the house, totally smells awesome.

I am from the basketball court next to my home. I play 24/7 and always with my friends.

Around my neighborhood, every year, the trees die with their branches drooping down depressingly. They seem to come back to life when June begins.

Andres plays his most faved instrument, The Saxophone, and Gladys sews endlessly, making a new creation after the next.

Father’s artistic talent and Mother’s intelligent.

Rice and Chicken. Orange juice on the side.

Incredibly tall. Towering over even the elders and the adults.

My life is in sketchbooks, photo albums, and my computer.
