I am from a dog going in and out of my room at night, jumping on and off my bed, and from crawling out of my crib at night sneaking into my parent’s room. I am from glasses leaving marks on the side of my nose, from “Keep your glasses on!” I am from losing and gaining weight, eating and eating. I am from having trouble waking up, and being late to school, from having the most late slips. I am from a school with a cute uniform and lockers, from hatching ducks and getting scabs everyday from tripping on the hard rock playground. I am from a school bus with black and yellow strips, trying to avoid the bullies, from people mistaking me as my sister, from “Hey Hana-bannana!” witch annoyed me a lot. I am from imitating the sound of a Pepsi can, from a kind nanny. I am from my brother playing on his play station in our cozy basement. I am from running up and down the staircase, from scavenger hunts of chocolate eggs, from a stadium with delicious lollipops and hockey games. I am from afternoons with Sesame Street, Teletubbies, and Barny. I am from a village where my dad has work and where my parents grew up, from plastic cups my grandma gives me, and from a loving family.
