I had just checked out of the school library a book of songs. I ran the seven blocks home from school to show it to Mom. "Let's sing," I said.

Maybe we liked the acoustics or thought if we hid, no one would hear our sorry warbling. My mom and I share a sad love. We love to sing, but we simply can't do it. It's not pretty. It can be downright ugly. But Mom and...

To the Editor: Most Americans cannot relate to the lives of our sisters and brothers who live in third world countries. Though only occasionally traveling overseas, we often select Europe as our destination – a cruise on the Danube, or a trip to Italy. Thus, imagining what it is like to live in real poverty is almost incomprehensible. After living in three different African countries for 17 years, I have experienced extreme poverty. In most African villages, owning a bicycle or a radio is a sign of wealth. When I visited t...
