I am always impressed by a woman who can assert herself and not shy away from adversity regardless of the outcome. I am equally impressed by a woman who can use those attributes to champion for the safety and welfare of others who do not. Heather is such a person . . . I first met Heather when I was invited to volunteer for the South End Neighborhood Association. She had been there since its inception and I recall sitting and watching several other members as I am prone to do . . . watch…

An airport is a great place to find lines of people that do nothing but have their heads glued to their phones while waiting for their flight. Sadly, I am of those mindless zombies, who sits at the tables with the provided charging ports with my phone in hand and my face staring blankly down at the screen. Often when I am in that position, I find myself scanning the environment to see people scramble in a rush to plug their phones in before it hit 0%. When I see people perform such actions, I…

Global Health Concern When I was younger, my major health concern was influenza because a bunch of the other kids at my school had the flu. I have only ever had the flu once, and it was in first grade. I remember my mom had to take me to the doctors because she thought that I could not have the flu because I had been vaccinated.

The air was chilling and caused my breath to puff out like steam plumes that disappeared faster than they arrived. I thought the weather was fitting for my emotions and what I was going to do. I had been yearning for a final tour of my childhood home I felt extremely connected to. We were abruptly kicked from our home…

though. I originally thought I hadn’t attended preschool, but my mother attest differently. She says we lived in Minnesota during this time. We moved not long after I finish preschool to Hemet in California due to my health and needing to be in a dryer climate.

I finished the last few months in home…

And we cursed the rains that left us damp for the half an hour train ride home from Versailles, but desperately trying to dry our clothes and hair with a single travel hair dryer shared between six girls proved to be more memorable, through singed sweaters and shorted-out adapters. Dancing around the bathroom made to uncomfortably fit one person with all six of us jostling for a prime view of the…

to read the old articles. Across from the bath house was another building. The building was divided into two separate areas, the laundry room and the game room. All campers were welcome to use the buildings, the laundry room had two washers and two dryers. You could use them by putting coins in for each load. The game room had a pool table in the center, a foosball game in the left hand corner, and a Pacman game to the right. She loved when her brothers, let her play with them. Behind the…

basically put one in debt, because the cost of getting a cold was simply not in the budget. A family with two breadwinners and four dependent children testified that “At the end of the week, I still don’t have enough money to put food on the table or clothes on kids’ back, buy them shoes or school supplies,” (Maxie- Collins , 3). This woman working at Macy’s for $8.25 says that if it wasn’t for government assistance (EBT Food stamps) She couldn’t put food on the table every night. So what…

Trip alone to chicago for the summer. I will never forget the summer I got to spend 3 weeks in Cicero with my Bestfriend. We were waiting for this moment for a while to get to spend more time over there and explore a lot more things. I've been there before many times,but only for hours not days.
