Memories of my life

By: Calista Molinski

I am from the busy town of Oshkosh.

I am from a amazing family with a Little Big Sister.

I am from the neighborhood of Winnebago.

And from “ Amazing.”

I am from the love of my lifelong stuffed animal dog.

I am from clogging, basics, double steps, fancy doubles.

From whizzing around on the computer every waking moment.

and from classmates who called me cry baby.

I am from a family that sauteed stir fry and baked  parmesan fries.

I am from hamburgers steaming on the grill.

From the family that makes their own fresh cucumber salad.

An from slow cooked tender crock pot chicken.

I am from One Direction

I am from Demi Lovato

I am from Skillet and Carrie Underwood

And from Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and Little Mix.

Although where I been where i've been. I will find my way

Inspired by George Ella Lyon’s original poem “Where I Am From.”
