Awakening
I have no memory of my birthplace of Tallinn, Estonia. I was two years old when Red Army busted through the Leningrad Blockade and marched in.
The Russians were hardly liberators. They were almost worse than the Nazis. They’d culled the population of Estonia to a million people, and who knows what fate my family would have met had we not fled on one of the last boats out.
My earliest memory is the raw, dank smell of the earth. I was huddled in the dark next to my mother in a root cellar in the west of Germany, surrounded by sacks of potatoes, while sirens blared above.

Laura Williams carries a motto with her as she works every day alongside the next generation of nursing professionals.
âI never want to be in a position where I canât help people that I want to help,â Williams, a University of Tennessee College of Nursing clinical instructor, said.
This wasnât a recent realization for Williams. It was a realization she had years before she knew nursing was her passion and years before she spent the summer of 2020 working in New York Cityâs Ryan Larkin Field Hospital, covered head to toe in a hazmat suit and protective gear as she tended to COVID-19 patients in recovery.
