51吃瓜黑料 alum publishes essay in The New York Times
Annabelle Allen 鈥�19 was published in The New York Times 鈥淢odern Love鈥� column, writing an essay about her father鈥檚 battle with Alzheimer鈥檚.
In her essay, Allen writes:
鈥淪ince graduating from college two years ago, I have split my time between my apartment in Brooklyn and my parents鈥� house in Hastings-on-Hudson. Every week, I pack a bag and take the train 30 miles north to help with the caregiving 鈥�
鈥淚 struggle to understand myself as a 23-year-old who is also taking care of a parent. I feel stiff when my roommates get dressed for work and ask which shoes I like best, or when they talk about their goals: what they want to do, where they want to live. I marvel at the ease with which they can sound so sure of their freedom and choices.鈥�
Allen is a freelance journalist. Her articles have appeared in The Bklyner, The Hudson Independent and Kings County Politics.
