When I look back on my life, one of the most pivotal moments was when I decided to embark on a journey across the United States on my bicycle. At the time, I was working a full-time engineering job in Connecticut, feeling stifled and yearning for something more. In the summer of 2017, I made a bold decision—I quit my job, packed my belongings, and set off on a bicycle trip that would span from Connecticut to Los Angeles, covering some 7,000 miles.The bike I rode, which I fondly think of as my

Our lifestyle didn’t change much, despite the restaurants and gym closing. We continued hiking and biking, and Oregon's relatively low population density meant the pandemic didn't hit us as hard as it did some other

When I was 19, my mom had a major cerebral aneurysm. It was a life-changing event, not just for her but for all of us. Despite the struggle, she lived many more years, although different from before. Reflecting on those earlier days, she used to cook for our family of six every single day—my dad, herself, and us four kids. Interestingly enough, cooking wasn't her passion. It wasn’t her creative outlet. She was just a good, plain cook who got food on the table for us. What she did love, though, was
