I thought I will never leave this, but my grandma has dementia. And before I could really understand what memory loss meant, ...

At like many other people at our school, I volunteer at Eagle Ridge Hospital. I'm in the PATH dining assistance program where my job is to mainly listen to the patients and hear what they have to say and just engage in conversation with them. I'm assigned to E2B and for those who are the same, you know, it's really not sunshine and rainbows in that ward.It usually hosts older patients. Some who stay for a couple of days, some who stay for a couple of weeks, and some who stay much longer. However, regardless ...

What is identity. Is it about place, language, culture. Are we born into it or do we choose it.What is it about places that we love that makes who we are. My earliest memories are about backyard parties in Baghdad. I was born to a large family in North Iraq.I came into a life that my parents had made.

And in the summer when it got so hot, we'd run to the mountains and sit in the cool air and the breezes.T ...
