Where I’m From
By Lamontay, 9th Grade
I come from…Cleveland, and raised from Mom and Dad and moved around a lot and I’m happy that I know a lot of people from Cleveland and some bad things happened in my life.
I am from my Uncle
who taught me how
to live through hard
times.
I am from my cousin
Samir who taught
me how to treat
someone right.
I am from my Grandma
who brings people
together and asks, “Is you hungry?”
and feeds me rice and beans.
I am from family games
of manhunt in Forest Hill Park
and Thanksgiving
celebrations.
I am from
a good, positive family
that will never let me down.
