GoFund Me is not an insurance policy
People will insure their homes, cars, and electronic devices. However, when it is time to purchase life insurance, they find it quite difficult to make the decision to purchase life insurance. This may be due to various reasons depending on a person’s family situation.

The Root of All Evil, Is it Really?
Money, In the eyes of many, that’s the worst evil in the world. No matter how much money you have, it won’t bring you happiness, love, friends. The notion most people have of money is precisely that. Well, it does feel profound to say that money can’t bring happiness, love, or friendship. But is it really true?

Label Me: Part 1
“Who am I?” It’s probably the most common and most difficult question we ask ourselves. It takes decades of living to answer, and even then, the answer changes and evolves as we continue living. Who we were growing up is often different from who we are as young adults and continues changing as we approach middle-age and so on.

Studying Life
The room smells old, and almost damp, whether it was the rain that had persisted all day or the moistness of a late-summer-time swamp cooler. Green and gold line the stage, the centerpiece of the room. A bronze-looking Jesus hangs from a cross and that cross hangs from two wires connected to the ceiling, it is crooked. I am sitting in the back of the room, writing notes in my composition book, being nonreligious and simply interested in the people that reside there, where around five white plastic folding tables are set up perpendicularly to the stage, with about twelve to sixteen chairs on each side. The tables remind me of cheap parties and barbecues. In front of the tables there was a row of seats. The Holy Trinity Newman Center isn’t a church, it's a placeholder.

It's Not Too Late
I lived in a tent for a month. Not a refugee tent, though I am an immigrant from a war-torn country. But no, this was a dark-blue camping tent pitched in the middle of the living room, because I didn’t want to have anything to do with my boyfriend. And yet, I couldn’t leave him. I didn’t have a voice back then. So I gave myself a tent.

Destiny
So it was all written in destiny? Our grandparents, their sisters, cousins were all married at the age of twelve or thirteen. Hardly anyone has exceeded that age. But even her husband was only a maximum of eighteen or twenty years old, not twice or four times. He then married his daughters at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Later, his daughters also got married at the same age or a little more, for example, at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Due to such a young marriage and then the birth of children within a year, there have been a few women in our family who have seen their fifth generation.
