January 29, 2015 Eng-111-97 Where I'm From I am from being spank on the first day I was born. I am from seeing my best friend for the first time, my mom. I am from going through life with my funny sister/partner, "Ally." From meeting my smart and thoughtful baby sister, "Pooh" I am from being the responsible one. From running from little boys who have "cuties", From Christmas and Thanksgiving being my favorite holiday, From getting kelp back in the second grade, I am from saying “Goodbye,” to my beautiful grandma, I love you grandma. I am from living with my cousins and auntie, never wanting her to go. Just stay auntie Whitney. from getting upset for not standing up for myself. from feeling lonely to feeling scared, I am from saying “Hello,” to my stepmom for the first time, Hello Miss Keisha. I am from meeting my step sisters who I love just as much as my own sisters. Hiya, Arianna and Serena. I am from having high hopes for things that I know will someday happen, From welcoming my first brother into the world, Naqiis To later saying hello to my youngest brother, Marc. From being ready to have a new baby sister born. I am from attending the funeral of my baby sister who didn’t make it, R.I.P Angel Johnson. I am from being blessed to have yet one more sister, Jocelyn. I am from not wanting to read the bible, From not knowing how important God was in my life, From getting the strength to attend church. I am from a church who didn't judge. I am from a girl who struggled. I am from a girl who finally realized how important God was. From getting the strength to get saved and accept God in my life. I am from being unfamiliar with the new girl I saw in the mirror. I can now tell you that I love the new girl I see in the mirror. That once unfamiliar face is me. |
