Janitor Filipaj, the Dream PursuerVerena Dobnik1 For years, Gac Filipaj mopped floors, cleaned toilets and took out trash at Columbia University.A refugee from war-torn Yugoslavia, he made a living working for the Ivy League school since 1993. But Sunday, May 13, 2012, was payback time: The 52-year-old janitor put on a cap and gown to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in classics.2 As a Columbia employee, he didn’t have to pay for the classes he took. His favorite subject was the Roman philosopher and statesman Seneca, the janitor said to the Associated Press reporter during a break from his work at the student union building he cleans. “(1) I love Seneca’s letters because they’re written in the spirit in which I was educated in my family — not to look for fame and fortune, but to have a simple, honest, honorable life,” he said.3 For Filipaj, the degree comes after years of studying late into the night in his Bronx apartment, where he’d open his books after a 2:30–11 p.m. shift as a “heavy cleaner” — his job title. Before exam time or to finish a paper, he’d pull all-nighters, then go to class in the morning and then to work. As his mother tongue is Albanian, it took him almost seven years to learn to master the English language before he was admitted to the School of General Studies. (2) His graduation with honors resulted from his strong will to overcome all the difficulties he ran into in the following dozen years of studies, including readings in ancient Latin and Greek.4 On Sunday morning on Columbia’s Manhattan campus, Filipaj flashed a huge smile and a thumbs-up as he walked off the podium after a handshake from Columbia President Lee Bollinger, who presided over a ceremony in which General Studies students received their graduation certificates.5 “This is a man with great pride, whether he’s doing custodial work or academics,” said Peter Awn, dean of Columbia’s School of General Studies. “(3) He is very humble and grateful, but he’s one individual who makes his own future.”6 It’s been a long road for Filipaj who fled to the United States in 1992, leaving behind his parents and siblings on a family farm in Montenegro, then a Yugoslav republic. Filipaj has always been a dedicated student. When he was living in Montenegro and working on his family farm, he attended the Law College in Belgrade as a part-time student, but he was unable to finish his degree due to the cruel civil war and had to leave his homeland during the last year of his studies.7 At first in New York, his uncle in the Bronx offered him shelter while he worked as a restaurant busboy. “I asked people, which are the best schools in New York?” he said. Since Columbia topped his list, “I went there to see if I could get a job.” Filipaj was accepted at Columbia as a janitor.8 Part of his $22-an-hour janitor’s pay still goes back to his brother, sister-in-law and two kids in Montenegro. Filipaj has no computer, but he bought one for the family, whose income comes mostly from selling milk. Filipaj also saves by not paying for a cellphone; he can only be reached via landline.9 During the interview with the Associated Press, Filipaj didn’t show the slightest regret or bitterness about his hard life. Instead, he cheerfully described encounters with surprised younger students who wondered why their classmate was cleaning up after them. “They say, ‘Aren’t you...?’” he said with a grin.10 His ambition is to get a master’s degree, maybe even a Ph.D., in Roman and Greek classics. He hopes to become a teacher someday, while translating his favorite classics into Albanian.11 For now, he’s trying to get “a better job,” maybe as supervisor of custodians or something similar, at Columbia if possible. He’s not interested in furthering his studies to make more money. “(4) The richness is in me, in my heart and in my head, not in my pockets,” said Filipaj, who is now an American citizen. 12 Soon after, the spirited, 5-foot-4 janitor picked up a broom and dustpan and went back to work.清洁工菲利帕：一位追梦人弗里那·多布尼克1 多年以来，盖茨·菲利帕一直在哥伦比亚大学做拖地板、打扫厕所和倒垃圾的工作。

The Free-Wheeling Family: Car-Free in SuburbiaRic & Sara Rosenkranz1 Our family has always been a one-car family. Late last year, we went further by deciding to give up the only car our family of 4 owned in preparation for an international move back to the USA. We were excited about the 5-week lifestyle experiment of living without a car in the suburbs of a major world city (Sydney, Australia), and getting the chance to better align our own actions with our values related to sustainability and health. Once we had a confirmed buyer for the car, we loaded up the family and drove 40 minutes across town to make the sale. Walking with the family to the train station to catch a ride home brought for us a sense of freedom, mixed with nervous uncertainty about how we might manage to maintain a somewhat normal life without our own motorized transportation. Our kids, aged 4 and 9 years, didn’t seem to mind.2 Unfortunately, trains could only partly replace our car as the nearest station to our suburban household was more than3 miles away. We knew that we would have to mix transportation modes for any trips outside our local suburb. This usually meant catching a very intermittent bus, or grabbing a taxi to or from the train station. Sometimes we might have to rent a car.By the numbers3 During our 38 days without owning a car, we made 209 separate trips in total among the four family members. If we assign one primary form of transportation for each trip, we took 8 by train, 21 by bus,4 by ferry, 3 by taxi, 12 by rental car, 7 by carpool, 95 by bicycle, and 59 on foot.Our adventures4 Half of the regular trip to preschool and work was full of traffic and treachery. Much of the way, there were bike lanes available, albeit lanes that were often full of debris or other obstacles. Our son was clearly frightened the first time a semi-truck came barreling past us within an outstretched arm’s distance.5 Grocery shopping was an interesting way to attract extra attention and raised eyebrows from our neighbors. For shopping trips, one adult towed the trail-a-bike (a single-wheeled contraption that connects to the seat post of a regular bike, and allows a child to ride along, with or withoutpedaling), while another adult towed a trailer loaded up with reusable grocery bags as our daughter rode solo. Pulling the trailer uphill while loaded down with groceries was quite a challenge.6 One of the most arduous parts came as we were leaving the country. We had to pack a lot of luggage. Thus, we each had two large suitcases, plus a backpack. Trying to get that much luggage on and off a bus, and then on and off a very crowded train while minding young children was truly a stressful experience.The good aspects of this lifestyle7 The good aspects of living without a car included having no car maintenance or car insurance, and not having to worry about break-ins, theft, or crashes. We could relax on public transport, and not have to worry about speeding tickets or tolls. We achieved better physical fitness from extra walking and cycling, and gained a new perspective of our suburbs, the city, and its residents.8 One of the best aspects was special time with our son. For instance, each morning that we rode the trail-a-bike, we could chat about the day ahead and the beauty of the environment around us.The not-so-good aspects of this lifestyle9 There were safety concerns with regard to cycling in traffic, being in strange train stations, and waiting at bus stops. Another drawback was the amount of time needed for two very busy adults (planning the trips, waiting for buses and trains, and often going far out of the way to get where we wanted to go). With that came less freedom to roam, less independence.Lessons learned from the experiment10 We consider our family’s experiment a great learning experience. Since our return to the USA, we have purchased a new fuel-efficient automobile, but have continued to follow many of the practices we adopted while living car-free. We drive less than we used to, commute by bike or foot more, combine trips, and consider whether or not trips by car are necessary at all. We have even gone grocery shopping with our bike trailer. We intend to continue our family’s efforts tolive more sustainably, while simultaneously advocating for more supportive policies to reduce dependence on automobiles through initiatives such as additional bike lanes, walking paths, and better public transportation options.自由自在的一家人：郊区的无车生活瑞克和萨拉·罗森克兰茨1一直以来，我们家只有一辆车。

All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链)。Some food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.
