Phase 1.4: “I Am From” Poem
NAME: _____________________________
DATE: _____________
I Am From
I am from my headphones, sneakers and journal,
I am from Latino culture, good music and
joyful summers spent outdoors in community
I am from making empanadillas in the kitchen with my grandmother
I am from “tell me who you go with and I will tell you who you are,”
From “kindness makes the world a better place”
I am from the PR even if it is far from me now
I am from one dollar pizza slices and slushies
And people watching in the park
I am from power and resilience
