2 - Raymond L: I Am From Poem

 I am From the Titans, the Vikings, and fierce Wildcats

I am from Friday night lights to Saturday morning celebrations

Team dinners, long practices, and hot summer days

I am from the teachers that taught me, the coaches that pushed me

The teammates that picked me up

And friends that believed in me 

I am from homeschool, to military school, to highschool

Doing school work from home, to wearing uniforms that no one liked

To a highschool with a whole different experience

I am from one family to another family

Learning with both, pushing to succeed

I am from long hospital visits late at night

X-rays, to casts, to rehab, and long days not being able to walk

I am from broken bones, to healing wounds

Watching my team from the sideline, feeling sad 

Thinking if football is meant for me

I am from playing football, to playing basketball, back to playing football

Everyday is another adventure, going to and from practice

Going from home, to school, to practice, all to earn a victory at night

I am from late night, tough, cold football games

I am from pitch black nights at the ER

I am from learning and competing with the guy next to me

I am from fun games and team dinners
