Where I'm From

I am from Oakland

Where I was born

And grew up in.

I am from Mexico

The place my ancestors 

Originate from.

I am from Cuyutlan, Jalisco

The little town we go to in Mexico.

I am from the blood of my parents,

Julia and Rosalio Martinez.

I am from the school

Wanting to learn new things

And excell at my work.

I am the friend of many people

Because I am able to relate to anyone

And am reliable, caring, and trustworthy.

I am from the party

Where we celebrate the day of birth

Especially a Quinceanera.

I am from the kitchen

Eating homemade carne asada

Made by my momma and daddy.

I am from the Virgen de Guadalupe

Who we Mexicans believe in.
