I Am From

I am From…

Summers at the cottage,
Playing from dusk till dawn,
Care free days at the beach,
Never noticing the rain

Playing soccer on teams
Built of relationships that have stood the test of time
Learning life skills I never knew existed
Only worried about the next half

Duc d’Annville Elementary
Awaiting the special days
Where mom or dad would pick us up
Driving straight to McDonald’s for a cheeseburger and fries

Playing outside till exhaustion set in
Four Square and Ghost in the Graveyard
Board Games galore
Best Friends Forever

Slouch socks of all colors
Matching shirts and scrunchies
Leg warmers and tie dye
Biggest worry was not to wear the same thing twice in one week

The Bill Lynch Fairs
Cotton Candy and rides
Candy Apples and games
Never caring about the dirt or strangers all around

Yearbooks and pictures
How many notes did you get?
Late Drive by’s to McDonalds
Where did everyone go?

  1. Wasn't that a fun exercise? I still use this exercise in September to get to know my new students. Pat
