2-Vivian L- I Am From

I am From Poem; Word Count: 268 of 272 

I am from Lavin and Sofia,

from Viver and Vivi.

I am from waking up at 5 am on Christmas morning,

from monthly trips to Dillon Beach and yelling across

the table on Thanksgiving.

I am from Bo Bo, 

From My littlest Pet shops and lemonade stands. 

I am from that game,

Staying up waiting for Little Caesars and 

late nights waiting in the In N Out line.

I am from walking to the basketball courts on a hot summer day, 

from jumping the fence into the kindergarten playground. 

I am from walking to 7-11 to get slurpees and

from building forts throughout the upstairs.

I am from cooking old family recipes and 

baking cakes, cookies, and poteca,

From playing football on thanksgiving with uncles and cousins. 

I am from watching fireworks in downtown on 4th of July.

I am from the missing angel that goes on top of the christmas tree,

From the new tradition of the top hat on the tree when it was not found.

I am from purposely breaking ornaments with my brother,

From baking bloody gingerbread men,

and other christmas cookies.

I am from my mom who has done everything both possible 

and impossible to provide happy, healthy lives for her children.

I am from my brother who taught me respect, discipline, 

and to put yourself first when needed.

I am from you get what you get and you dont throw a fit,

From treat people how you want to be treated.

I am from success is not easy and never given,

And from respect should be given unless it is not received.
