This is a quickwrite writing excersize about me:
Where I'm from
I'm from Fillmore, California
Home is 238 Village Square
a square shaped like a circle.
Across the street from the one car dealership,
the one Catholic church, and the one brand new skate park.
I'm from “Hi! How are you?”s and “How are the kids?”
in the morning between neighbors.
I'm from best friend next door neighbors
playing outside all day until the street lights came on.
I'm from mud pies and hide and seek, to soccer, football,
and basketball with the boys.
I am number 4 of 4
the baby
the runt
the moocher
from Mommy and Daddy
after Ann, Timmy, and David
I'm from strange Mommy nicknames like;
Sugar Plum, Honey bun, and Chicken pot
I'm Momma's Sugar Plum and
Daddy's Mar Mar
I'm from large family dinners of
Spaghetti with meatballs, Braciole, and Chicken Divine.
I'm from fresh homemade pumpkin bread, cinnamon rolls,
and boysenberry pies.
I'm from musicians and singers, almost evenly divided.
In a world of Trombones and Singers, I chose the Flute.
I am from Fillmore High school, home of the Flashes
from friends and peers who have gone to school
together since kindergarten.
I am the fourth Fillmore High school Alumnus.
I'm number 8 from a CLU legacy
number 8 to get in and number 6 to graduate (hopefully).
I am the 7th to find my other half
and the 3rd to play in the University band.
