Where I Come From

By Jude, age 16

Where I come from…
Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes
A loving mother and father
A household of 6 people

I come from…
Never-ending competitive soccer
A very athletic nature

Where I come from…
The Forbes Clan of Scotland
A clan of prestigious nobility
A clan of fierce warriors

I come from…
Blood that works hard
A culture of earned strength

Where I come from…
An infinite well of creativity
Vast amounts of inspiration
And strong role models

I come from…
A life plagued with cancer
And a merciful God who took it away

Where I come from…
Resiliency
