Where I’m From

By

Amber Bernhardt

I am from a family of beer drinking,

Sports loving, Oregonians.

I am from Creek and Cherokee Indians,

I am from Germany.

I am from a small city, or large town.

I am from a place where yellow and green are considered the only two colors of any importance.

I am from a loving family,

where there are 4 girls and only my dad to represent the male gender.

I am from middle class, white suburbia.

I am from the itch that makes me want to travel.

I am from the mall that makes me want to shop.

I am from the school that challenges me everyday.

Most of all I am from the human race that is in constant struggle with one another, yet in search of peace. I am one of the many who is trying to make a difference; I choose to do it through teaching.

I am a future educator, an ear to listen, and a new friend to make.
