Mundelein High School - Voices Magazine - 2020

This magazine is the culmination of hundreds of submissions from the students of Mundelein High School. Our editing staff spent the entire year choosing pieces to be published. Normally, we would also be publishing some of our school's phenomenal artwork as well, but due to the COVID-19 closure, we were not able to gather the artwork to vote on.

Where I’m From Poem

Ryan McElligott

I am from exploration and adventure

From bike rides and canoe paddles

I am from the gravel paths

and the rocky shorelines

I am from the perseverance

to keep myself going

From steep climbs

to crashing waves

All the challenges that faced me

I’m from the nets and courts

and the excitement of the game my brothers played

I’m from those long days and late nights

the tournaments that keep me inspired

I am from those long nights with friends

underneath the stars

From the train tracks and the fields out back

the places we explored

I’m from those little moments

that make you remember why you love that person

I’m from those road trips with family

that playlist put on repeat

From the music that plays

coming through that mountain pass

The aroma of pine needles sweeping through the open window

I’m from that little hill in the backyard

and the pier on the shore

I’m from those smells, sounds, the warm breeze through my hair

My home, which I belong
