I’m from lighting candles and eating my mom’s challah
Dad saying the brachas
Moroccan food on the dinner table
Feeling loads of joy
Like happiness spreading all over the place
My baby sister making a mess all over the carpet
Me and my other sister talking about our day at school
Feeling the good family bonding time
Feeling close to my religion and heritage

I’m from watching Sanrio (anime) episodes on YouTube
Buying Sanrio merch at Daiso (a shop) in Industry City
Excited to buy something new
Putting on my My Melody accessories
And other Sanrio merch
Watching Demon Slayer (also an anime) on Netflix
Wearing my Demon Slayer shirt
Feeling happy and stylish
I’m able to express myself with the things I like

I’m from racing in Mario Kart
Choosing my character
Choosing my vehicle
Practicing every day nonstop
Racing in the new courses
My baby sister gasping in excitement
When the game is starting
Feeling happy when I win
Feeling a bit sad when I lose
Feeling excited as I race through
All the other players (computers)
Getting better every day
Never making a fit when I lose
Losing never stops me
Zooming faster than the speed of light
Never giving up

I’m from making friends in less than a second
Meeting friends at independent lunch
Sipping our Starbucks together
Taking selfies with friends
Eating with friends at lunch (in my school)
Playing games at recess
Having a good time with friends
Being a kind and caring person
Saying hi and bye to friends when I go and leave school
Feeling happy and connected with friends

Now you, tell me, where are you from?
