Being Different Toward Family

By: Shontell Jim

My cousin Camellia always wears

Her green converse shoes.

She has big brown eyes that

Sparkle in the moonlight,

In size I am taller.

She has black long hair.

My sister uses her time to keep

An eye on her younger siblings.

When she’s home alone she cooks,

Cleans and keeps the house cleans.

My favorite memory with her is when she

Pretended that she got robbed by my

Neighbor. She shows it by her hair bushy, and her clothes torn up.

She treats me with lots of respect.

She keeps me out of trouble, when I get in trouble she talks to me.

And she is always helping me with my work.

When she dreams she says she dreams about how it will be in the future.

Like us having our own families.
