Sala kakuhle eOhio, Molo Colorado
Ukufudukela kwisixeko esitsha luhlengahlengiso olukhulu, ngakumbi xa olo hambo lubandakanya ukufudukela kwindawo eyahlukileyo yelizwe kwaye wenze oko wedwa. Uchulumanco lwendawo entsha kunye nokuqalisa i-adventure entsha uwedwa ngamava anjengamanye. Ndidlule kula mava ngo-Agasti ka-2021, xa ndandisuka kwikhaya lam e-Ohio ndisiya eColorado. Esi yayingesosigqibo endasenza ngobusuku nje obunye. Esi sigqibo sasifuna uphando oluninzi, ixesha, amalungiselelo nenkxaso.
Research
Eyona ndlela ingcono yokuphanda isixeko kukusindwendwela buqu kwaye usijonge ngokwakho. Bendisoloko ndimkhulu ekuhambeni, ngakumbi ngaphambi kobhubhani we-COVID-19. Ndasebenzisa ngokupheleleyo ithuba lokukwazi kwam ukuhamba emva kokugqiba izifundo zam zesidanga sokuqala. Umsebenzi wam wokuqala ngaphandle kwe-undergrade wandivumela ukuba ndiye kwizixeko ezahlukahlukeneyo. Kwakhona ndandizihambela ngokwam yaye ndandizama ukuthatha uhambo rhoqo ngexesha lonyaka. Ukutyelela izixeko ezahlukahlukeneyo kwandenza ndacutha iindawo endandinokuzibona ndihlala kuzo.
Kutheni eColorado?
Ingcinga yokufuduka e-Ohio yabonakala ifanelekile kuhambo lwam lokuqala lokuya eColorado. NgoJanuwari 2018, ndandwendwela iColorado okokuqala. Imbonakalo ecacileyo yeentaba kunye nembonakalo entle yandithengisa eColorado. Enye yeenkumbulo zam endizithandayo zohambo lwam ndihleli ngaphandle kwidolophu yaseDenver kwindawo yokuthengisa utywala phakathi kuJanuwari. Loo mini yayizaliswe lilanga lizulu. Ndingumlandeli wokufumana onke amaxesha onyaka omane kodwa ndiyavuma ukuba ubusika kuMbindi-ntshona bunokuba rhabaxa kunye namaqondo obushushu angaphantsi komkhenkce kunye nesibhakabhaka esimnyama esimnyama ubusika bonke. Ukuza eColorado kunye nokufumana imozulu epholileyo yasebusika yayiyinto eyothusayo kunye notshintsho oluhle xa kuthelekiswa nemozulu yasebusika endiqhele ukuyifumana eNortheast Ohio. Ndikhumbula abahlali baseDenver bendixelela ukuba ubusika babo buyanyamezeleka kwaye ukuba nemozulu enelanga kwenza umahluko omkhulu. Ngosuku lwam lokugqibela kolo hambo, ikhephu lalikhephuke kwaye laphola kodwa lalingekho kwinqanaba elifanayo nelasekhaya. I-vibe iyonke yeColorado yaziva ikhululekile kwaye ithuthuzela.
Ukudala uMda weXesha
Ukongeza kuphando, ukwenza umda wexesha kukudibanisa. Emva kokongeza iDenver kuluhlu lwam lwezixeko ezinokufudukela kuzo, ndenze umda wexesha lokuba ndingazibona nini ukuba ndiphuma eOhio. Ndandisendleleni yokugqiba isidanga senkosi yam kwimpilo yoluntu ngoMeyi ka-2020 kwaye ndacinga ukuba iya kuba lelona xesha lifanelekileyo lokucinga ngokulandela amathuba angaphandle kweOhio. Njengoko sonke sinokukhumbula, ubhubhani we-COVID-19 waqala ekuqaleni kuka-2020. Ndaye ndagqiba isidanga senkosi yam ngoMeyi ka-2020 njengoko bekucwangcisiwe kodwa ndandingasenawo umdla wokufuna amathuba angaphandle kwe-Ohio ngenxa yokungaqiniseki nge-COVID-19 kwaye ndayibeka loo nto. Injongo ekuphumleni.
Nje ukuba intwasahlobo ka-2021 ijikeleze, irente yam yokurenta kumbindi wedolophu iCleveland yayiphela kungekudala. Ndandifikelele kwinqanaba apho ndandilungele i-adventure entsha kwaye ndagqiba ekubeni lixesha lokusukela amathuba ngaphandle kwe-Ohio. Lo ibingunyaka wokuqala wekhalenda oko ndaqalisa uhambo lwam lwezifundo ukuba ndingabhaliswanga esikolweni kwaye ndenze ngokusemthethweni ngayo yonke imfundo endiyifunayo. Amaqhina am e-Ohio aziva engenasigxina ngoku kuba ndandigqibile ngesidanga senkosi yam.
Ngentwasahlobo ka-2021, i-COVID-19 yayisachaphazela ubomi bethu njengoko injalo namhlanje, kodwa ngelo xesha ukukhutshwa kwesitofu sokugonya i-COVID-19 kwakusebenza ngokupheleleyo. Ukukhutshwa kwesitofu sokugonya kuvakala kuxhobisa kwaye inyathelo eliya kwicala elililo. Ukujonga emva kunyaka ophelileyo ngo-2020, ukufumana iinyanga zokuqala ze-COVID-19 kubeka umbono wokuba kubaluleke kangakanani ukuphila ubomi. Lo mbono undenze ndaqonda ukuba kubalulekile ukunqanda ukujonga ngasemva ngokuzisola kwaye injongo yam yayikukuhamba ekupheleni kwehlobo lika-2021.
Amalungiselelo Ashukumayo
Ndamkele isikhundla somququzeleli wokuziqhelanisa neColorado Access. Nje ukuba ndibe nomhla wam wokuqala ocwangcisiweyo, inyani yaqala ukuseta ngokuba ndandiphuma eOhio! Bambalwa abantu ababesazi ukuba ndandicinga nokufuduka, ngoko kwakumnandi ukothusa abantu ngeendaba zam ezinkulu. Ndandizimisele ukufudukela eColorado kwaye akukho mntu wayeza kutshintsha ingqondo yam.
Olona lungiselelo lucelomngeni lokufudukela eColorado kukufumana indawo
ukuphila. Imarike ishushu, ngakumbi eDenver. Ndandinonxibelelwano olulinganiselweyo eDenver kwaye ndandingabaqhelanga nabamelwane. Ndagqiba ekubeni ndibhabhe ndedwa ukuya eDenver kwiiveki ezimbalwa ngaphambi kokuba ndihambe ndijonge kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo kwaye ndikhusele indawo yokuhlala. Ndincoma kakhulu ukuthatha uhambo olwahlukileyo ngaphambi kokuba ndigqibezele inyathelo, elindenze ndaziva ndikhululekile ngesigqibo sam kwaye ndancedisa ekugqibezeleni uninzi lwamalungiselelo ahambayo.
Elinye lamalungiselelo okugqibela yayikukufumana indlela yokufumana izinto zam zobuqu ukusuka eOhio ukuya eColorado. Ndenze uluhlu lwezinto ekufuneka ndizipakishe kunye noluhlu lwezinto endifuna ukuzithengisa. Ndincoma ukusebenzisa amaqonga, afana neMarike ye-Facebook ukuthengisa izinto ezingabalulekanga kwaye ezinokutshintshwa, njengefenitshala enkulu. Ndikwacebisa ukuba ndijonge ukurenta iPOD okanye i-U-Box ukuze ndithumele izinto, yile nto ndiyenzileyo ukusukela oko ibikukuhamba ndedwa.
inkxaso
Ukuba nenkqubo yenkxaso kwenza umehluko ngexesha lotshintsho olukhulu. Intsapho yakowethu yayiluncedo, ingakumbi xa kufikelelwa kumba wokupakisha. Ukuqhuba ukuya eDenver kwakumalunga neekhilomitha ezingama-1,400 kunye neeyure ezingama-21. Ndandisuka kuMntla-mpuma weOhio, nto leyo eyayifuna ukuba ndihambe ndinqumla kummandla osentshona weOhio, ndize ndidlule eIndiana, eIllinois, eIowa, naseNebraska. Ndikhuthaza nabani na ohamba umgama omde ukuba adibane nomntu omnye ubuncinane: umhlobo, umntakwenu, isizalwane, umzali, njl njl. Ukuqhuba umgama omde kumnandi kakhulu kunye nenkampani, kwaye unako ukwahlula ukuqhuba.
Ikwalungile nangezizathu zokhuseleko. Utata wavuma ukundikhapha ngemoto waza wakhokela ekwenzeni imaphu yendlela esasihamba ngayo.
Iitrakthi
Ndakhawuleza ndabona ukuba andindedwa kumnqweno wam wokushiya ikhaya. Ndidibene nabantu abaninzi, kubandakanywa nabalingane bam kwi-Colorado Access, nabo baphuma ngaphandle kwelizwe. Kuye kwahlaziya ukudibana nabantu abanamabali abo ahlukileyo kunye nokuqiqa ngendlela abaye baphelela ngayo eColorado.
Ukufunda malunga nokhathalelo lwempilo eColorado kuye kwaba lijika lokufunda ngokuqhelana nemibutho eyahlukeneyo, amaqabane asekuhlaleni, amakhaya onyango oluphambili (PCMPs), abahlawuli, kunye neenkqubo zesibhedlele. Isakhiwo seMedicaid saseColorado siyingqayizivele kwaye siqhelana neMimandla ePhetheyo eZiphendulela (i-RAEs) kunye ne-Accountable Care Collaborative (ACC) nayo inzame yokufunda.
Enye into oyithathayo yimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo yokwenza eColorado. Ndiye ndonganyelwa linani leengcebiso zeendawo zokujonga. Ndinoluhlu oluqhubekayo kwi-app yam yamanqaku eendawo endinokuzindwendwela. Kukho izinto ezinomdla onokuthi uzenze unyaka wonke eColorado; ixesha ngalinye lonyaka ndifumene into eyodwa yokwenza. Ndikonwabela kakhulu ukuba neendwendwe kuba kukho into yomntu wonke.
ingcingane
Lo nyaka uphelileyo uye wakhulula kwaye waqala ngokutsha. Ndiziva ndinoxolo ngokuhlala eColorado kwaye ndivuka ndiye kwiiNtaba zeRocky yonke imihla. Oogxa bam, ngakumbi abo ndisebenza nabo kwinkxaso yokuziqhelanisa bebenyanisekile, bandixhasa, kwaye banengqiqo. Ukufudukela kwindawo entsha kunye nokuqalisa umsebenzi omtsha kwaba lutshintsho oluninzi ngexesha elinye kwaye kuye kwathuthuzela ukwamkelwa njengoko ndilungisa. Khange ndikhumbule ekhaya, kodwa ndikhumbula imiba ethile yaseOhio, njengokulula kwedolophu yasekhaya nokuba nosapho lwam kufutshane. Nangona kunjalo, ndihlala ndizikhumbuza ukuba ndikuhambo olufutshane nje lwenqwelomoya kwaye ngenxa yokuba ndihlala kumgama oziikhilomitha ezili-1,400 akuthethi kuthi ndlela-ntle ngonaphakade. Ndiyathanda ukubuyela eOhio ngeeholide. Ukuba netekhnoloji efana neFaceTime kunye nemithombo yeendaba zentlalo yenza ukuba ukunxibelelana kube lula. Lilonke, ndikhuthaza kakhulu nabani na ojonga intshukumo enkulu, ngakumbi ukuphuma kwilizwe labo ukuba baye kulo!
