Life hasn't always been easy for Sareana Kimia,16. Her parents split up when she was young,and she hasn't seen her dad since she was 10.In June 2014,she and her mom,Shefali Gupta,found out that they would soon be evicted(逐出) from their home. Sareana knew that her mom had money problems.
Even before the eviction,Gupta had become very sad. Because she didn't have health insurance,Gupta couldn’t get a doctor's help for her emotional problems.
Sareana took charge of things at home. For example,she often cooked her family's. meals. When she and her mom were about to lose their home,it was Sareana who arranged a place for them to stay.
For years,Sareana had been an active volunteer with several organizations. She even started her own group,Youth for National Change. It works to support the rights of young people.
Sareana called a few adults she had worked with. After finding out about her situation,one couple opened their doors right away. But by August 2014, the couple no longer had room for Sareana and her mom. The two ended up living in their car. They didn’t want to go to a homeless shelter out of fear that they could be split up. Through it all,Sareana kept working on projects and studying. “At no point did I let what was going on change my daily routine,” she says.
Sareana is homeschooled online and goes to classes at a nearby college. Last fall,school bills began piling up. She had no way to pay them. A friend suggested that she try raising funds online. After a newspaper ran an article about Sareana,donations poured in — nearly $30,000!She paid for school and had enough money left to rent a small apartment.

It has been with me every place V ve lived since I left home at 18 in 1977.
Dad made it: Carved out of several pieces of wood glued together,shaped and sanded so smooth,it looked as if it had always been a single,solid piece. It was eventually to be a music box; the top flips (翻) up and the inside is hollow(空的). Dad could — and
over the years did — make just about everything anyone can make out of wood.
He gave me the little man in the bathtub a few weeks after he told me in a letter that he and my mother were divorcing. He apologized for cruel words of days past and said he would understand if I never wanted to see him again. I cried while reading that. I was much closer to my mother,but how could Dad even think that? It never occurred to me to cut my father out of my life.
Dad was an intelligent,creative and talented man,but he was also deeply insecure,something I didn't fully appreciate until years later. We both matured,and our relationship as adults was far better than when I was younger.
And he was a fun,loving grandfather whom my sons adored. Dad died in 2013 of cancer. While I will forever treasure it,the little man in the bathtub will never be finished; it was supposed to play “I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles."
