Senior Memoir! Aundrea L.

For this past few weeks we have been working on our senior projects.  The one thing that I had the most fun writing was my "Where Im from Poem."  I loved writing this becasue it gave me a chance to reflect on my life and what things have shaped me into who I am today.  What I used most in the poem is scene from the beach.


I am from sandy toes
From bathing suits and tan lines
I am from the crashing of waves
that burry my worries in the soothing sand

I am from sunshine
that shines giving me hope of tomorrow
and tears debating the truth of hidden pain

I am from beach breezes
and rainy days from a
broken family...

I am from courage
to give me strength to try
and strength to overcome
the barring walls of the curl

I am from dreams
From faith and passion

I am from Trena and Edward

I am from sunsets
From the rising sun
I am from what I’ve made myself to be
And the strength to get back up

    I tried to avoid this activity because I thought it would be really hard for me. But you made it look so easy! And your poem turned out great! I really liked it. :)
