After the tough upbringing I've had, I began to 3 why she chose to have children when she knew she would die 4 . Finally, from my aunt, I got a simple answer: My mother had always 5 the doctors' prediction. She had done so well with her 6 issues that she thought she would live long enough to raise me.
I got a little relieved. 7 I still felt deeply 8 that my mother had left me in such a 9 situation. And then the 10 came.
There were no words spoken and no thoughts 11 but only feelings. I recall no background to the dream ― only the 12 of my mother walking toward me. She was 13 of the serious scoliosis (脊柱侧弯) that had troubled her. She walked straight and came toward me with her arms open, her kind eyes shining even more brightly than I 14 , a beautiful smile on her face. She wrapped her arms around me and I returned her a warm hug. We 15 stood, holding each other as a strong feeling of deep love 16 over me. At that dream moment I knew my mother had never 17 to bring me into the world and then leave. She loved me then and she had kept loving me.
Thirty-five years ago I awoke from that dream with a great peace. My sadness 18 . I have never had a single moment of doubt about my mother's love 19 . I continue my life, in the 20 that my mother's unconditional love is always there.

On Dec. 13, 2018, Nubia Wilson turned 16. But instead of 1 with an exciting Sweet 16 birthday party, the California teen devoted this milestone to 2 the lives of orphans in Ethiopia.
Through several summers of volunteer work at an Ethiopia orphanage, Nubia learned firsthand the severe poverty so many children 3 . In an email to The Huffington Post, Nubia said that she was 4 struck by the children's lack of access to 5 -their school only went through the fourth grade.
Over the course of her volunteer work, Nubia became 6 in one student, Hermela. She writes: Out of the many students in the kindergarten class, Hermela became 7 and attached to me to a point where it was becoming 8 for both of us to leave each other. She is now in the second grade. The thought of Hermela not being able to have her meal and 9 education after the fourth grade became 10 and I knew I had to do something.
That's when Nubia decided that she didn't want a traditional Sweet 16. 11 , she wanted to use the money her parents would have spent on a party to establish 12 grade class for Hermela and other kids.
"The money could provide a(n) 13 solution that will serve for many years compared to the one-day 14 of my party," Nubia wrote to Huffpost Live. In short, I want Hermela to continue 15 .
After telling friends and family her 16 , Nubia set up a(n) 17 page "Keep Hermela Smiling" on CrowdRise. Her 18 will raise funds for the Fregenet Foundation, which funds education and community services in Ethiopia.
So far, Nubia has 19 $ 2,781 of her $ 10,000 goal. Nubia says that her parents have been extremely 20 ; they're selling most of their Ethiopian artifacts to help raise funds.
