Even if there were a fire in our house, I'm adamant that we would not be able to evacuate the house before it burns to the ground.

school because I was afraid to be out; my mental health suffered, my physical health suffered, and my relationships suffered.

With this thought, it shows how while being alone upstairs, she feels so close close to freedom, she can almost reach it. It also…

Portland, Oregon. I started the interview with asking her, “What new technology came out during your childhood?”, she replied, “... we had cellphones, but they were like the size of a tv remote, but bigger”. She laughed and asked my aunt if she remembers what the cell phone looked like. My grandmother adds, “The cell phones that are out now are so much smaller compared to what was in my generation.
