Where I'm From

*Please Comment/ Vote... I would really appreciate it and return the favor*

I am from needles and insulin,
Doctors and blood sugar checking,
From good grades and honor roll,
Nights of staying up early, mornings of sleeping late.

I am from pool party ruining hurricanes, tropical storms and hail.
From getting mad, getting even, and stomping up the stairs.
I am from an older brother who was, and always will be... My hero.

I am from great friends I could confess anything to...
(Because they were never listening anyway)
From egg hunts on Easter, eating with family on Thanksgiving, and best wishes for years to come on birthdays.

I am from watching scary movies...
(That I knew would cause nightmares)
And from watching sad movies...
(That I knew would make me cry)

I am from Barbie, Ken and the color pink.
From obsessing over the Spice Girls, crying over everything, and getting over it all.
I am from FCAT testing, and getting a 5 on the Florida Writes.
From the dream of becoming a shark biologist, forensic scientist, and a chef.

I am from a fourth grade teacher who didn't believe in me...
And all the ones to follow that do.

I am nicknames, boardgames, and a family that was always there.
From a whole lot of sarcasm, eight years of diabetes, a love of using big words, and a lifetime of memories I can't ever forget.
