Please welcome Dr. . Jenny A. Barrow.I'm hiding under my mother's bed as my father is pounding on the door. Boom. Boom. Boom.My heart is racing. I'm petrified about what will happen to my mother and me. So, I shrink even smaller, hoping invisibility will keep us both safe.And in that moment, at only five years old, I make a silent vow. This will not be my life. When I turned 14, we left the Dominican Republic and moved to the United States carrying this vow in my heart.I didn't speak English. I didn't under ...

Please welcome Una Stevenson. The year is 1986. Seven siblings, all under 10 years old, are scattered across parts of the country.Different cities, different homes, different strangers assigned to care for them. The youngest is just three months old. The oldest barely nine.None of them old enough to understand why they were separated or what it means to begin life as a statistic. Now it's 1989. Those same seven siblings are brought back together and are sitting in the living room that feels unfamiliar but s ...

Please welcome Tanuin. The other day I was driving and suddenly my GPS disconnected. By a show of hands, has this ever happened to anyone.That moment when the voice are telling you where to turn, go silent. And that screen that been showing you the map goes blank and you feel that panic rise in your chest. Now day we rely so much on GPS that the idea of going anywhere without it feels impossible and without realizing it we expect the same thing from life.We want to have every step mapped out, every risk man ...

I'm in the bathroom. It's a late Saturday afternoon in 2014. Everything's quiet. Everything's peaceful.But then I hear something that pikes my interest. The theme song for Sophia the First. I rush out as soon as I can because I know I'm about to miss something important.Not just the theme song for a kids show, but a world, a lesson, and a feeling. Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Samia Shahid and I'm going to be telling you guys about something that just means so much to me.Watching shows, watchi ...

I've been living in Korea for almost 20 years. I arrived at 23. Um, a young Italian guy full of energy, ready to discover the world.And honestly, the first couple of years were exactly that. Great country, great people, the best time of my life. But even when everything seems perfect, life has a way of reminding you who's in charge.When I was 25, finishing my master's degree here, suddenly something started to go wrong. My vision became blurry, like looking through a foggy window. My mouth was so dry, I fel ...

When do opinions change. Tonight, I want to ask you a question. Perhaps you've been asked this before, maybe by a teacher, your parents, or even just out of the blue.What did you want to be when you were a little kid. Some people wanted to be police officers. Some professional car racers or ballerinas.I wanted to be an astronaut, a weird one with the helmet and the boots and the zero gravity. But then when I was 10, someone asked me a bit of a different question. What do you want to be when you grow up.And ...

the older i get, the more i start to believe moving cities isn’t random, you don’t just “feel like going somewhere” for no reason, sometimes a place pulls you in because it’s part of your storyline, like you have to pass through it to unlock a side quest, meet someone, or become the version of you that only exists on that path, and only later do you realize you were always meant to end up there. ...
