Moving to a new state changed my life; I was no longer surrounded by my family and culture. Having an Indian Heritage I was the minority in my new town. Being the only Indian in school made me self-conscious growing up. This prohibited me from building new relationships with other kids my age. Dealing

One early dew-dropped March morning‚ I watched my parents watching me walk through airport security for the first time completely alone. It was odd not having parents to ask if I should take off my shoes or belt.

Beaches‚ pools‚ light traffic and no tardy bell - summer is the best! I have been lucky enough to cherish the extra time with my kids that summer affords‚ visiting libraries and museums large and small (Who even knew there was a fire truck museum or a printing museum?).

Camp can help kids in so very many ways: 1) Exploration At camp kids get

The best memories are after the fun‚ with hot chocolate and mini marshmallows that bob around in the dark liquid. The warm mug thaws my hands as I sit
