AFRICA | AMERICAN STORIES: IDENTITY AND DREAMS

Personal History

Within me is the blood of Native Americans. I don't eat special foods except for hot dogs. My family and I have spoken English for a long time. I come from a place that is wet and has a lot of trees. This place is called the Black Foot River. My skin and height come from my dad. Within me is a family that wears colorful clothing. My family listens to old-fashioned classical music. I come from a family that believes in anything and everything. I come from a family that believes in their dreams. Tyler P., Hamilton Elementary
