Young Scholars
Ramallah, Palestine.
These kids inspire me.
The rhetoric surrounding Palestine is so caught up in the oppression and adversity that our country faces, we forget there is a younger generation that needs to hear, “You can go somewhere and you can change your environment and the world’s perception of your existence.” And they will.

Mom
When I was young, my Mom used to cut my hair. And I didn’t understand at the time. I didn’t really appreciate it. I was only 9. I wanted to go to the barber like all my friends and get lined up.
My Mom would finish all her tasks for the day and then call me upstairs to get my haircut before we went to bed. She didn’t have to cut my hair by any means. It wasn’t an...

A Good Deed
The toughest part about a good deed is not the act of doing it.

Taboo?
Why is alone time so taboo to people?
