Maitiro atinoona maumbirwo epasi rose atinosarudza kuva - uye kugovana zviitiko zvinomanikidza zvinogona kuumba nzira yatinoitirana nayo, ive nani. Aya maonero akasimba.

Husiku husiku mushure mekunge chiremba wangu wemazino akandikurudzira zvechimbi chimbi, ndakaenda kunotonhora turkey pakurara nemunwe wangu wekurudyi wemunwe mumuromo mangu. Ini ndaive nemakore gumi nemana. Muitiro wehusiku waive wekubata kubva paudiki hwangu waibva kudivi raamai vangu. Mukoma wangu ane makore makumi matatu nematatu hama yangu achiri kuzviita, uye amai vangu vakazviita kwenguva yakareba kupfuura vana vazhinji.

Iyo tsika yaive zvakare ingangove yakakonzeresa mukuita kuti ini kukurira kuve kwakaipisisa kupfuura genetics yega ingadai iine. Mushure mekufa kwamai vangu, ndaizoita chero chinhu kuti ndiwane hope dzakanaka, kunyangwe zvaireva kurara nemunwe wangu mumuromo mangu.

Kumisa kwaive kwakaomarara zvakanyanya pakutanga, asi ini ndaida chaizvo brace - uye ndaida kuti vashande kuti ndisazombonyara nemazino angu akakombama zvakare.

Pandakazorasikirwa nemazino angu ese echecheche, ini ndaive ndoda kuita 14 - ndakura kupfuura shamwari dzangu zhinji dzakatanga nebrace kuchikoro chepakati. Vamwe vakatotanga chikoro chepamusoro nemazino akatwasuka zvakakwana. Ini handina kukwanisa kuwana zvidhina chero kare nekuti ndaive murombo uye ndaifanira kumirira kurudziro yachiremba wemazino.

Paunenge uri murombo, zvinhu zvakawanda zvinodzika kune zvinoonekwa mamaki ehurombo

Kmart uye Walmart zvipfeko, bhutsu dzisiri-dzemhando kubva kuPayless, kugerwa bvudzi kubva kuSupercuts panzvimbo yebougie salon mudhorobha, magirazi anodhura ayo inishuwarenzi yehutano yeruzhinji ichavhara.

Chimwe chiratidzo? Mazino "akaipa". Icho chimwe chezviratidzo zveAmerica zvepasirese zvehurombo.

"['Meno' akaipa ') anoonekwa serudzi rwehunhu uye anowanzo fananidzwa nehunhu, sevanhu vane mazino akavhunika vanodzikira," anodaro David Clover, munyori uye mubereki anogara muDetroit. Akafamba makore gumi asina chero chengetedzo yemeno nekuda kwekushayikwa kweinishuwarenzi.

Mari yepakati yemabhureki muna 2014 yaive chero kubva pamadhora zviuru zvitatu kusvika pamadhora zviuru mazana manomwe - zvaizove zvisingakwanisike zvachose kwatiri.

Isuwo tine kushamwaridzana kwakashata nekunyemwerera kuri kushaya mazino kana kuti zvisina kunyatso kutwasuka kana kuchena. Zvinoenderana nekutsvaga kwakaitwa naKelton weInvisalign, vekuAmerican vanoona vanhu vane mazino akatwasuka se58 muzana vangangobudirira. Ivo zvakare vanowanzoonekwa sevanofara, vane hutano, uye vakangwara.

Zvikamu zviviri kubva muzvitatu zvevanhu vekuAmerican vane inishuwarenzi vaive neinishuwarenzi yemazino yakazvimiririra, iyo inowanzo shandiswa nevashandirwi kana kubhadharwa kunze-kwehomwe. Izvi kazhinji haisi sarudzo yevarombo.

Laura Kiesel, munyori anoshanda akazvimirira anobva kunzvimbo yeBoston, akabhadhara muhomwe kuti mazino ake ehungwaru aburitswe uye akaenda asina kutindivadza nekuti aisakwanisa kutenga mamwe madhora mazana mashanu. "Zvairwadza kusimuka kuti ndiite izvi nekuti mazino angu ehungwaru akakanganiswa zvakanyanya mupfupa ravaifanira kutsemuka uye raive neropa," anoyeuka Kiesel.

Kushaikwa kweinishuwarenzi yemeno kunogona zvakare kukweretesa kuchikwereti chekurapa uye kana ukatadza kubhadhara, bhiri rako rinogona kutumirwa kumasangano ekuunganidza uye rinogona kukanganisa chikwereti chako chechikwereti kwemakore.

"Maitiro emazino andanga ndichifanira kutora atora makore anoda kusvika gumi kuti abhadhare," anodaro Lillian Cohen-Moore, munyori uye mupepeti kubva kuSeattle."Ndakapedzisa wekupedzisira wechikwereti chemazino gore rapfuura."

Chiremba wangu wemazino akavimbisa baba vangu kuti MassHealth, nyika yeMassachusetts yakawedzera hutano hwepasi rose kuti iyo Inodhura Care Act yaive yakavakirwa, "zvaizonditendera" nekuda kwekuipa kwameno angu.

Basa rake harina kuuya ne401 (k) kana inishuwarenzi yehutano inotsigirwa nekambani.)

Uye ndaiziva kuti macopays aizoita kuti mabhureki angu asakwanise, nekuti isu tanga tatova nemwedzi yekunonoka pachose bhiri chataive nacho - rendi, mota, tambo uye internet.

Mavhiki mashoma gare gare, takawana nhau dzekuti inishuwarenzi yangu yaisazobhadhara brace

Vakanga vafunga meno angu asina kushata zvakakwana. Zvese zvandaigona kufunga nezvazvo yaive fomu yemazino iyo iyo orthodontist yakatora pamuromo wangu panguva yandaiongorora. Bhuruu putty yakaumbwa mukati mangu yakanyanyisa, yakamonyoroka mamolars, uye kumomoterwa kubva kumazino mana ekuwedzera avakange varonga kuburitsa izvo zvandaive ndisingakwanise kuti ndibudise mumuromo mangu.

"Iwe uri nani kukwidza inishuwarenzi, uye kumirira kusvikira mushure mekunge waita mabhureki ekuti chip igadziriswe," chiremba wangu wemazino akatsanangura.

Iko hakuna zvinyorwa zvekunyemwerera kwangu kubva kuchikoro chesekondari makore.

Ndipo apo mazino angu zviri pamutemo akava mucherechedzo wekuti ini ndakanga ndisina kupfuma kana kunyangwe vepakati. Kuchinja chitarisiko chako irombo rinoda mari, zviwanikwa, uye nguva. Ivhareji yemutengo webrows inomhanya pakati pe $ 3,000 kusvika $ 7,000 - iyo yanga isingakwanisike zvachose kwatiri.

Baba vangu vakanditora kuchikoro mukombi yake kana kuti ndakafamba netsoka kuenda kumba nekuti takanga tisingakwanise kutenga mota. Bhutsu dzangu dzaive dzisiri Kutaurirana, ndiwo ma knock-offs anotaridzika kuita kunge Convers pasina iyo inozivikanwa nyeredzi logo. Uye mazino angu aive asina kutwasuka, kunyangwe hazvo munhu wese akandikomberedza aishanyira chiremba wemazino mwedzi wega kugadzirisa.

Pane imwe nguva, mushure mekunge ndatsvoda musikana, ndakatanga kuvhunduka nezvekuti mazino angu akakombama aizo "pinda munzira" uye kuti mazino angu akaipa aindiita kuti nditsvode zvakaipa. Akanga aine mabhureki muchikoro chepakati uye chake chaive chakatwasanuka zvakakwana.

Kunyange zvakadaro munzira dzakawanda, ndaive neropafadzo

Makore pamberi peAACA, ndaive nekwaniso yekuchengetwa kwemazino emhando yepamusoro. Ndakaona vanachiremba vemazino ekuchenesa kwega kwega kwega kwega mwedzi mitanhatu padhiza pasina copay (chiremba wemazino wangu aibhadharisa madhora makumi maviri nemashanu chete kana ukarasikirwa nemisangano mitatu yakateedzana pasina kukanzura, zvinova zvakanaka).

Chero nguva ini yandaive nekavha, ini ndaigona kuwana yekuzadza. Zvichakadaro, baba vangu vakaenda makore gumi nemashanu vasina kuona chiremba wemazino panguva iyo MassHealth yakasarudza kusavhara mazino kuvanhu vakuru.

Ndakanga ndiine zvidzitiro mumwedzi waNyamavhuvhu ndisati ndasvika pagore rangu repamusoro rechikoro chepamusoro ndikabvunza chiremba wemazino kuti ashandise mabhendi akasununguka mune imwe muraraungu, nekuti ndaida kuti vanhu vaone mabhureni angu pandakanyemwerera: Vaive nzira yangu yekuzivisa kuti munguva pfupi inenge isisina mazino anooneka mashoma.

Mushure mekunge mazino angu mana ekuwedzera aburitswa, kunyemwerera kwangu kwakanyevenuka zvakanyanya uye zino rega rega rakatanga kushanduka zvishoma nezvishoma kuenda panzvimbo.

Chakanyanya kundirwadza chakange chaenda, uye paKutenda, mwana wamai vangu akandiudza nezvekunaka kwandakaita. Ndakatora selfie yangu yekutanga nemeno anooneka mukati memakore gumi.

Zvakatora makore mashanu kubvisa brace, zvichienzaniswa neyakajairwa kureba kwekuchengeta orthodontic.

Ndiri kukwira mukirasi yepakati izvozvi, uye ndiri kunyanya kunetsekana nekuchinja mafungiro evarombo kupfuura ini nekuzvichinja kuti ndikwane mukirasi yechinyakare nekuchenesa mazino angu kana kuramba kuchitoro chekupfeka pazvitoro zvakaita seWalmart kana Payless .

Gore kana zvakadaro mukurapwa kwangu, chiremba wemazino akatanga kundinyadzisa nekusauya kuzogadzwa nguva dzose. Asi koreji yangu yaive pamusoro kwemaawa maviri kure uye baba vangu vakanga vasina mota. Ndingadai ndakarasikirwa neinishuwarenzi kana ndikachinja tarisiro kune imwe tsika.

Kunonoka kurapwa kwangu kwemazino kwakaguma kuchinditorera nguva yenguva yangu, nekuti ndingadai ndakakwanisa kuuya kuzogadzwa nguva dzose ini ndaive mudzidzi wepachikoro chepamusoro ndichigara pamba.

Zuva ravakazobuda, ndakafara kuti ndisafanirwa kugara mukamuri yekumirira pakati pevana nevechiri kuyaruka - uye kuti vanhu havachazobvunza kuti sei ndaive nebrace pa22.

Ini ndakatsamwa kuti mazino ane hutano uye kutarisirwa kwemazino haisi ropafadzo munhu wese anowana

Mwedzi mishoma yapfuura, ini nemumwe wangu patakatora mafoto ekubatana kwedu, ndakanyemwerera pandakaona ayo angu akashama muromo, achiseka majee ake. Ndiri kutosununguka nekunyemwerera kwangu uye chitarisiko. Asi kunyangwe ini ndaikwanisa kurwira kuti ndiwane yangu inishuwarenzi yehutano kuvhara kurapwa, vanhu vazhinji havana kana mukana wekuwana hutano hwakakosha kana inishuwarenzi yemeno.

Mazino angu haasati akachena zvakaringana uye kana ndikanyatsotarisisa, ndinogona kutaura kuti ane yero yero. Ndakaona zviratidzo zvekuchenesa kwenyanzvi pahofisi yangu yemazino uye ndakafunga nezvekubhadhara kuti vacheneswe pamberi pemuchato wangu, asi hazvinzwi kuchimbidzika. Haisi manzwiro ekupererwa anotwasanudza mazino angu akafuridzirwa pandakanga ndiri jaya risina kuchengeteka ndichingodzidza kuti zvinodiwa zvekutanga zvinowanzoda hupfumi nemari.

Ndiri kukwira mukirasi yepakati izvozvi, uye ndiri kunyanya kunetsekana nekuchinja mafungiro evarombo kupfuura ini nekuzvichinja kuti ndikwane mukirasi yechinyakare nekuchenesa mazino angu kana kuramba kuchitoro chekupfeka pazvitoro zvakaita seWalmart kana Payless .

Kunze kwezvo, musikana iyeye ini ndaitya nezve kutsvoda nemazino akakombama makore apfuura? Achava mudzimai wangu. Uye anondida aine kana asina kunyemwerera chena kwakachena.
