Culture of Me
In this project, we explored S.P.E.C.S, or significant's ,perspective, evidence, connection, and supposition. We made a connection to each of these words to our personal and daily life and wrote a memoir about the specific events. Along with writing a memoir we created boxes and on each side of the box was a time or memory where we used one of the S.P.E.C.S.. We also made a Where I am from poem.
My memoir:
My Poem:
I am from many unanswered questions
answered by my own imagination
I am from too much laughter, love and family
I am from an over imaginative child with many ideas
a childhood that is unforgettable yet it is slowly walking
out of my memory
I am from overused cellphones and internet
I am from a glowing face in the middle of the night
staring at a screen for hours
I am from friends and adventures
life long friends and friends
that I only had so I could learn lessons
I am from long rants, texting and music
I am from a head full of lyrics that I can connect to
I am from a large family
that keeps shortening and growing at the same time
I am from disappearing people with a reasoning
I didn't understand
I am from quiet tears and hidden sadness
my mind filled with secrets and emotions that weren't ready to come out
I am from growing anxiety and desperation
holding in more than anyone should
I am from a stubborn child that refuses to
let anyone in her unfixable heart
I am from many angry tears not understanding
why certain things have happened
I am from fake smiles that are intended to be real
I am from many family gatherings happening for the wrong reason
I am from many im sorry’s and hugs
I am from late nights, over thinking anything that pops in my mind
I am from tears that run down my face for no reason
I am from an imagination too big for one person
I am from many sleepless nights
thanks to my wondering and many questions
I am from an over thinking mind
answered by my own imagination
I am from too much laughter, love and family
I am from an over imaginative child with many ideas
a childhood that is unforgettable yet it is slowly walking
out of my memory
I am from overused cellphones and internet
I am from a glowing face in the middle of the night
staring at a screen for hours
I am from friends and adventures
life long friends and friends
that I only had so I could learn lessons
I am from long rants, texting and music
