But as with so many stories from 2020, the CO
A few days ago, I heard one of my close friends complaining about how some people are not wearing masks on the street. It was strange because the police control the street, and if they catch someone not wearing a mask, then he/she has to pay a fine. At first, I doubted her because I firmly believed

It was a brisk afternoon in January 2020 in New York City. After a brief bus ride through the roads of Harlem, I got off in front of the Butler Library of Columbia University and waited – half anxious, half excited – for the college tour to start. Long flights and jetlag had me sleepless

When I was young, I always wanted a pet. I was so desperate, I would sometimes daydream about an unexpected encounter with a puppy in the street. Without knowing how much responsibility it took to raise a pet, I continued to beg for one. After a few years of pleading, my parents decided to adopt a p
