Ensley made me a poet.

When I was one, my parents and I moved into a tiny apartment off 20th Street. I wrote my first poem sitting in the corner of my bedroom, surrounded by toys. I was 7 or 8 and the poem was for my best friend who had moved away. I was angry with him for being willing to leave me, and when I get angry, I get mean. I figured his leaving would be easier to face, if I pushed him away first. But as soon as the moving truck pulled away, I realized how foolish I'd been.

So I wrote him a poem to apologize. The poem was terrible, of course, but with it, a lifelong love affair began — not with the boy who moved away, but with the written word. As an adult, I'd write poems about playing kickball in the parking lot of those Ensley apartment blocks, and poems about trips to see the candy lady and to the corner store.

When people ask me where in Birmingham I grew up, I sometimes say "Everywhere". We moved around a lot and the neighborhoods of Birmingham find their way into so much of what I write.

I had to leave Birmingham to learn how to tell true stories in prose (散文). After college in Alabama and graduate school in Berkeley, California, I moved to Kentucky to be a newspaper reporter. My skill at writing personal essays landed me my own column(专栏) and the chance to be included in a collection of essays published by Seal Press.

Then I came home.

In her bookWriting Down the Bones, Natalie Goldberg writes, "It is very important to go home if you want your work to be whole...you must claim where you come from and look deep into it. Come to honor and embrace it, or at the least, accept it."

Now in Birmingham, I get to share my story in local magazines and on my blog. And I build my story through every friendship formed in this city of steel, sweat, and sweet tea.

Stress under the novel coronavirus

The first national survey of the psychological impact of the novel coronavirus (新型冠状病毒) collected data between Jan 31 and Feb 10. It found that 35 percent of people suffer psychological stress, and the level of the stress was to do with various factors.

According to the research, the stress level was associated with sex, age and education. Female showed higher psychological stress than male. People aged between 18 and 30 showed the highest level of stress. They can get much information from social media, which can easily cause stress. The elderly have also been psychologically impacted, since this widespread disease is most likely to kill older patients. Furthermore, people with higher education tended to have more stress for their knowledge of health.

Further, people may have higher stress due to their jobs. It is evident that migrant workers (外来务工人员) have the highest level of stress among all workers because they worry about the virus carried in public transports when returning to their jobs, about work delays and loss of income as they stop working, and about job opportunities that may dry up before the cities they work in return to full operations.

In addition, stress levels have something to do with region for its local medical resources, efficiency of public health system, prevention and control measures. For example, Shanghai is at high risk because of the large population of migrant workers, but the stress level is not in the high level. This may be because Shanghai has one of the best public health systems in China, according to the research.

Ultimately, the prevention and control measures taken by the Chinese government have made people's stress decrease. Still, based on the research, psychologists suggested more attention be paid to young adults and migrant workers who have higher stress.

Our "Mommy and Me" time began two years ago. My next-door neighbor and fellow mother, Christie, and I were out in our front yards, watching seven children of age 6 and under ride their bikes up and down. "I wish I could take one of my children out alone, " said Christie.

Then we worked out a plan: When Christie takes one of her children out, I'll watch her other three. And when she watches two of mine, I'll take someone out.

The children were extremely quick to accept the idea of "Mommy and Me" time. Christie's daughter, McKenzie, went first. When she returned, the other children showered her with tons of questions. McKenzie was smiling broadly. Christie looked refreshed and happy. "She's like a different child when there's no one else around, " Christie shared with me quickly. With her mother all to herself, McKenzie didn't have to make an effort to gain attention.

Just as Christie had noticed changes in McKenzie, I also discovered something different in each of my children during our alone times. For example, I am always surprised when my daughter, who is seldom close to me, holds my hand frequently. My stuttering (口吃的) son, Tom, doesn't stutter once during our activities since he doesn't have to struggle for a chance to speak. And the other son, Sam, who's always a follower when around other children shines as a leader during our times together.

The "Mommy and Me" time allows us to be simply alone and away with each child —talking, sharing, and laughing, which has been the biggest gain. Every child deserves (应得到) to be an only child at least once in a while.

Four Lessons I Learned From Traveling

Traveling is a dream! Foreign, faraway countries have fascinated me for traveling. It has not only enriched my life in many ways but it refreshes me.

Independence

In your safe environment where there's always something or someone to fall back on, feeling independent is easy. Traveling puts that whole view of how independent you really are in question. What do you do when caught in an airport in the middle of the night?How well do you cope in situation where your credit card suddenly refuses you?

Be social

Social skills are something you learn over the years regardless of where you are in the world. Traveling, however, takes being social to the next level!Truth is also that while you're traveling, you often need help or advice from others meaning that you need to know how to talk to people!

We think we're all super unique. Truth is that after seeing so many different countries and meeting so many people from all over the world, I've come to one conclusion that we're all mostly the same when it comes to the things that matter.

Enjoy life

Before and during our two months of travel in the Central America, we worried about so many things. Did we have all the visa?The truth is everything turned out fine. Always remember that worrying about things going wrong isn't going to decrease the chances of it actually happening. Just ENJOY!

A. Your meeting so many different people makes social skills even more important.

B. More importantly, it has taught me many lessons.

C. Firstly, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery and relax ourselves.

D. Will we find the right flights at the right time?

E. The way you react says a lot about how independent you are.

F. We are all the same

G. Why do more and more people prefer to travel quite often nowadays?

At the end of the term, we 4Rose to make a speech to our football team. As she began to deliver her 5 speech, she dropped her note card on the 6 . A little embarrassed, she simply said, "I'm sorry.

One week after graduation, Rose 19 peacefully in her sleep. We will remember the wonderful woman who taught us by example that it's never too late to be all we can20 be.
