Dolly Parton,the fourth of twelve children,was born in a small house in Tennessee.She came into the world on January 19th,1946,and the doctor who delivered her,Robert F.Thomas,was only paid with a bag of corn.Of course,the doctor did not know what the future might hold for this little girl.
At the age of ten,Dolly appeared on a TV show in
Knoxville,Tennessee.In 1957,she took a bus to Lake
Charles,Louisiana,where she made her first record,“Puppy Love”.A year later,she made her first public appearance at Nashville’s country music hall,but not as a singer:she played the drums with the Sevier High School Marching Band.
Dolly loved Nashville! However,she was still in high school,so she couldn’t go there often.She had to work long and hard before graduating in 1964.The day after the graduation ceremony,she ach ieved her first big dream:“I graduated from high school on a Friday night and left early on a Saturday morning for Nashville.”
In 1967,she began to write lots of popular songs.She appeared on television shows,and received prizes for her music,all very quickly.Her looks and sense of humour made her a natural for the movies.In 1980,she appeared in her first movie NinetoFive,playing a secretary.Dolly wrote and sang the film’s theme song,and it was the most popular song of 1981.
Later on,Dolly Parton opened Dollywood,a large theme park near her hometown;she bought the local radio station and moved it to Dollywood.She also began a programme that promises a college scholarship to every student who graduates from the high schools in her home county.
It’s clear why Dolly is still popular after all these years.

Now many young people are travelling around the world on their own,not because they have no one to travel with,but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life.She said,“It opens your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries,with no one to help you read a map,look after you if you get ill,or lend you money if your wallet is stolen,it is challenging.This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling last year.He set up a website,The Aussie Nomad,to document his adventures.He said he wished he had travelled alone earlier.“The people you meet,the places you visit,or the things you do,everything is up to you and it forces you t o grow as a person,” said the man.
Chris describes travelling alone as “a shot in the arm”,which makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything.He said,“The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drive s me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
As the saying goes,“Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
