I am grateful for my freedom: to choose how I spend my time, what school I will attend, and where I’d like to live among many other factors of my life. My conditions are far from those of this colorful crane, seeming to be trapped, entangled by the spool of green decorative wire. The scene reminds me of ocean life, dolphins cut by fishing lines and geese trapped in nets. I’m determined not to have a noose around my neck, and others’ if I can help it.
