Where I’m From

by Luis Roldan

I’m from where you see palm trees at every corner.

I’m from where you see everyone wearing Heat Jerseys.

I’m from where the schools are number 1 in the state for fighting.

I’m from where it’s never cold.

I’m from where they make Cuban sandwiches.

I’m from where people were fishing every weekend.

I’m from where you have to learn two languages to get a job.

I’m from where everyone wears teal and orange.

I’m from Cutler Ridge Miami.
