I am from...
I am from an accomplished dream—
from an image of a healthy family and opportunities to succeed.
I am from from a hard working mother and father—
from a father who always told me “love what you do in life, never work a day in your life.”
I am from a family deep rooted in the German culture—
from a first generation American family.
I am from a family who cherishes time spent together—
from a family who works with each other and loves one another.
I am from a family whose dreams came true—
from a family who took risks and invested in themselves.
I am from a family of six—
from three sisters; a PhD student, a law student, and a pre med student.
I am from life and death—
from hollow hearts to the brother I would have known.
I am from every November 30th having to grieve the loss of my brother—
from picking out our Christmas tree; to dinner with my family.
I am from one home—
from the village of Nashotah; the kind of town of dreams, lakes in our backyards.
I am from lessons taught—
from being told “Ten minutes early is on time; on time is late; late is unacceptable.”
I am from an accomplished dream—
from a cherished image of a family.
