Because I have always lived in a bubble, first from the comforts of my home to the academic bubble of Ann Arbor, I have never experience the dangers of the world until I experience the possible dangers of living in a city like Detroit. \u00a0On Monday, I was super excited to see the fireworks in downtown Detroit, but I was not prepared to see people panicked and frantically running across the streets because of a shooting during the fireworks show. \u00a0The idea of people shooting during happy times never crossed my mind, and it sounded absolutely ridiculous to me. \u00a0I was so naive to believe that no one would want to ruin the fun atmosphere and hurt anyone; I was so protected by all the bubbles I lived in.<\/p>\n

As I saw children got separated from their parents and people looking scared, I finally understood that I am living in a dangerous world where someone can hurt people. \u00a0I was so confused at first, but then fear kicked into me–my heart was beating fast. \u00a0I have finally understood why I need to be careful and be more aware of my surroundings while I live in Detroit. \u00a0It is because situations that I read and listened to on the news do actually exist and they can happen anywhere, anytime. \u00a0Detroit is a wonderful place, but it is also a dangerous city where anything can happen. \u00a0Detroit has open my eyes and popped my bubble.<\/p>\n

Even though the\u00a0adrenaline of the situation scared me, I was still happy that I was able to enjoy some of the beautiful fireworks. \u00a0It was a good show, and I wish I could see more of it.<\/p>\n

Besides my experiences with living in Detroit, I am definitely enjoying my work at Chiwara. \u00a0Through the work I do for Chiwara, I feel closer to nature. I feel proud every time I harvest and every time I noticed that the plants are getting taller and more healthy. \u00a0I love looking at them spreading throughout the krater garden at work, and I cannot wait until I harvested more fruits and seeds. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
