  1. “Where I am from” By Melissa Nkenguruke

  2. I am from old books, from Danielle Steel,from Barbara Cartland and Mary Higgins Clark.

  3. I am from Burundi, the drums, the traditional dance, the heart of Africa;

  4. from a tiny, poor, overpopulated country with many diseases, they say BUT I SAY I COME FROM A NO WINTER SEASON, TREES, MOUNTAINS AND BLESSED LAND WITH BEACH.

  5. I am from the dreams of Chinese gardens with apple and cherry blossoms and dreams of 19th century French fashion apogee and British royal residences.

  6. I am from school uniform, from “the clew of achievement is to go beyond your limits”, from “it’s good but you can do better” and from hard work ethic. I AM FROM MY FATHER’S SAYING “THERE IS NO HOLIDAY FOR ME”. I REMEMBER FOLLOWING HIM AT HIS OFFICE IN WEEKENDS IN ORDER TO MIMIC HIS GESTURES, HIM WORKING AT HIS COMPUTER AND ME ON THE OLD TYPEWRITER INVENTING NEW WORDS…A NEW WORLD.

  7. I come from Thursdays and Sundays of choir rehearsals,from Wednesdays and Fridays of acting rehearsals,from Mondays and Saturdays of school activitiesand from missing my duty of being a good friend.

  8. I am from my mother’s speech with complicated words, her lawyer language, her ingenuity in healthy dishes and from her daily pray.

  9. I am from the mature little girl at home with two parents,four security guards (my brother) and a twin (my sister). I AM FROM THE SMELL OF BAKING FLOOR AND FRESH BREAD, AND FROM FEEDING MY SECRET DREAM TO BECOME A BAKER.

  10. FIN (END) Thank you.
