Diversity in Education-July 22nd-I am from

Our assignment/journal was to write a poem, each line beginning with 'I am from', outlining my culture.

I am from my father, Dad stayed at home and baked bread.
I am from my mother, Mom taught, now I pay attention to how things sound.
I am from the church, love, sharing, thought and injustice.
I am from a world of fantasy, faeries, goblins, princesses and dragons.
I am from a small town, big fish in a little pond.
I am from the Country Fair, community, ecology, cultural commons.
I am from the theater, showcasing skill, vying for the spotlight.
I am from the warm and playful sound of a violin.
I am from the digital world, blogging and broadcasting through the net.
I am from Oregon, green, green state.
