Where I come from

My name is Whitney Evans and I come from Tamara Mckinney and my step father Marlo Mickinney. My grandparents are Joyce Odom and Odell Odom. These people are the folks who raised me. I was born in Ceterville Ill, East St.Louis. I also so have two bothers after me and although we are close in age we have nothing in common. We are a very traditional family that love to get together during holidays. I love the food that my parents and grandparents make during the holidays. They make dressing, collard greens, turkey,chicken,cookies, cakes and more. I always would have an eating contest with my father because we love to eat the most out of the family.Of course he would win but it never stoped me from trying to eat all that I can.
   In my family I can truly say that we stick togther when times get hard. Even though we have our normal family problems we still manage to come togther during speacial times as well. When I was a child me and my father would always get up early in the morning to go fishing. I would make sure that we had lots of worms. I would find them in the dirt the day before. This is a tradition that will go on to my son. My dad cant wait for my son to get older so he can take him on nice fishing trips we once shared, but Im not sure if my son would pick the worms form the dirt like I did. Now that I have my own family I hope that tradition will live on.
