He doesn’t have long. Neither do I. 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4. Walk in step, be calm. My brother looks on from the couch, at the ground. My dad stands off to the side, breathing in unison with the air tank, his eyes trained on the life source. My mother and my sister hold each other close in the…

The One-Child Policy heightened the injustice they face and continued to restrict women’s reproductive rights. “In the nineteen-eighties, female factory workers were forced to show their stained menstrual napkins to prove they weren’t pregnant” (Demick). Although China has gone along way to make revisions to the One-Child Policy, there needs to be an end to sex-selective abortions in rural areas through…

who educated me well and for this I will be grateful! It is my longing to believe in my students and encourage them to be the best they can be each day!
