My Hero
By Ronit
Dear Mrs. Black,
It was January 1967 when this 11 year-old, frightened, little Israeli girl walked into your classroom for the first time. I had only arrived in the country two weeks before. Not knowing a word of English, I was placed in your class with other non-English speaking students.
I cannot describe the terror and confusion I was feeling that day. These feelings had been with me throughout the past few weeks. They began when the reality that I was leaving my country, my home, my extended family, my school, my friends, and all that was familiar to me. My father had told us that we were leaving Israel and moving to America. But I didn’t quite understand what that meant. I had no idea what America was, other than a far away place. As we began to pack and shop for new clothes (it was going to be cold in America), and people started to say goodbye, the reality began to sink in. I was going away. The fact that I was leaving with my parents, brother and sister did not ease the pain or the fear. I did not want to go.
Flying on an airplane was not exciting or joyous, even though it was my first time on a plane. I cried throughout the flight, almost 12 hours, and when the plane landed I proceeded to vomit all over my mom. I remember feeling good about throwing up on her. It was a small gesture of vengeance that gave me real satisfaction.
When we arrived in our new “home,” in Corona Queens, I quickly became acquainted with the closet in the hallway. That closet became my hiding place, the place I would go to everyday for the first three months, where I would sit on the floor and cry. You were a major reason why I finally came out of the closet and embraced my new home.
Like your name, you were black. This was a rare and special experience for me since in Israel the only black people I ever encountered were Poco and Quami. Poco was the ambassador to Ghana and Quami was his security man. For some reason, my parents befriended them and I would see them every so often at my house. I liked them very much and was captivated by the color of their skin, their hair, their beautiful smile and the way they spoke. They spoke English, a language I always enjoyed hearing, even though I did not understand.
Seeing you in front of the class was comforting to me. You reminded me of them in many ways. Your smile was as inviting and warm as theirs. Your beautiful skin, like theirs, was soft and smooth as velvet. Your colorful dresses and your English language were somehow familiar to me. Although very frightened, as soon as I saw you, a sense of safety and well being came over me. The class, however, was not at all friendly or welcoming. I was the only Jewish girl in the class. It wasn’t long before the kids in the class identified me as an outsider. I was bullied and made fun of on a regular basis. As long as you were present, I was safe. But as soon as you left the room, or we went to lunch, my classmates were mean and cruel, calling me names, shoving me, and in general making my life miserable. Being of Yemenite decent, i.e. dark skinned, I was not unfamiliar with racist remarks and ostracizing. I had experienced it in my own country.
But I had never been exposed to Antisemitism. It had a whole new, more dangerous feeling to it. Perhaps it was because of what I had learned about the Holocaust. Or may be it was because I was in a foreign country. Whatever it was, I was terrified most of the time.
Tell us about someone in your life who has deeply touched you, or, in some way, helped shape your life.
When we get in touch with how one person can make a difference in our lives, we are reminded that we have the power to do the same. The more we focus on our positive potential, the more we reinforce its power.
The most influential person in my life has always been my mother. She raised two children, first my brother who's father abandoned them, then myself about 13 years later after my father died. She has survived breast cancer and the emotional struggle that comes with losing a part of your physical self. She took care of her alcoholic brother for many years until he became a danger to her family and she had to have him leave the house. I know this was very difficult for her as well. She helped my brother with his three kids and put me through college (the second person to finish in my entire family). She took care of my grandmother for as long as I can remember (she was a strong woman as well and I know where my mother gets it from). I was raised by these to amazing people, and I think it shows in the kind of person I turned out to be. And if I turn out to be half the kind of woman they were... thats not bad.
"With all my faith
And all my heart
And all those simple things you are"
the lady was visibly dirsetssed by the ordeal after she discovered the 5ft snake replica in the loft of an apartment she had only just rented. Attending officer Karen Hogg told the BBC: We've rescued hundreds of snakes from properties in all sorts of unusual circumstances, so we had no reason to believe this might not be the real thing. I'd brought gloves and a pillow case to enable us to handle and contain the snake safely, but as soon as we spotted it we realised the equipment wouldn't be necessary. The poor lady was still very shaken, even after we'd removed the stuffed animal from the property.' Officers have renamed the snake' Sid and he is now a permanent resident at the animal rescue centre in Aberdeen' Metro.Haha

When my oldest son turned 2 he suddenly said that everything he ate tasted like poop and would spit it out. It didn’t matter what it was, carrot or chocolate cake. It tasted like poop and he wasn’t going to eat it. And he didn’t mean poop as in it doesn’t taste good, but he claimed it tasted like actual poop (don’t ask he how he knew what that tasted like, but that was his claim). He was taken to the Dr repeatedly, but there was nothing wrong with him and he maintained his weight. This went on for over 8 months, and then one day he woke up and ate his breakfast,every bite. It ended as suddenly as it began and I still don’t know why it happened.

大人ニキビという言葉を聞いたことがありますか？
大人ニキビは10代の思春期ニキビと違い、とても再発しやすいです。
それに、放っておくとニキビ跡やシミになることも少なくないです。
顎やフェイスラインにできる大人ニキビはしっかりしたケアとと予防が大事ですからね。
まず大人ニキビの原因は、ストレス・睡眠不足などが挙げられます。
大人になるとお仕事の都合で、意図せずに生活習慣が乱れてしまったり、疲れてしまいますよね。
ストレス対策として、思い当たることを取り除いていくことも大切です。
さらに冷えるとニキビがたくさん！なんてことが多いはずです。
冬は夏に比べて肌がカサカサになり、肌トラブルが増えてしまいます。
普段なら何事もない毛穴の汚れでも、乾燥していると菌が繁殖してしまい、炎症を起こすことも…。
冬場は夏よりも予防しましょう。
体調によって、ニキビができやすい時期も変わります。
基本的に、排卵期と呼ばれる生理2週間前あたりから生理が始まるまではニキビができやすくなります。
毎月の体調を管理して、食生活や睡眠最も大切です。
