This is it! My first time riding in a truck outside of a small test track on the west side of Columbus, Indiana. After standing for eight hours in 90-degree, 90% humidity heat, riding in a truck with air conditioning for eight hours seemed like a vacation. Except in order to make it to Atlanta on time, the trip started out at six o'clock in the morning. I had the plea

Boom! You immediately sit upright in bed. It’s 3:23 a.m. and it’s happening again. The wind is howling against your window and there’s an unsettling roar in the air. You can see flashes of lightning through the curtains. The dog doesn’t like it either. He’s pacing the floor and panting. It’s easy to tell he’s not used to storms like this... Back home in California, your friends would have th
Alberta Children’s hospital in Calgary, Alberta, Canada doesn’t look like any ordinary hospital. It looks fun, even playful. The exterior of the building is covered with energetic colored blocks and the sign at the main entryway looks as if it was written by a child. Inside, there are playgrounds, toy rooms, and murals of barnyards, mountains, forests and more. Despite the cheerful appearance o

It did not begin as a vision, but rather an answer to a desperate question. Twumasi’s brother-in-law died of HIV/AIDS, and the family soon discovered that his sister had the disease, too. They have four children. “It was then th

This past April, the lights went out in our nation’s capital. There was no storm, it wasn’t a hot summer day, and a car did not knock down any power lines. The cause of the blackout was allegedly a freak accident due to a dilapidating infrastructure: a piece of metal breaking loose from a power line 43 miles from the District of Columbia. From neighborhoods to national museums, prestigious coll
