Oh hello‚ didn’t see you there. I was just about to look at my son’s report card. But I don’t even need to look. I know he has all As. He is just like me.

Most people spend a majority of their lives trying to figure out who they are; as a teenager‚ it’s one of the biggest struggles we face. And as someone who is adopted‚ it’s an even bigger struggle.

Many of us don’t consider electricity a luxury. There are many nights when I fall asleep with the lights on‚ unable to force myself to get out of bed.
