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
