The last person I would like to have is Elizabeth Blackwell. She is a physician and an educator. She was born on February 3 , 1821 , born near Bristol, England. Blackwell wanted to become the first woman to graduate from medical school. She was a activist and a leader of health. It showed that she cared about her job because she took it very seriously. She wouldn’t lack or she wouldn’t slack off of her work but she go to job done and she got it done right. She moved to the United States after her fathers death. 

I’m a lot like Blackwell because, If I’m cleaning I’ll make sure I get all the jobs done and I get it done to my father’s expectation. Also if someone can’t do what they need to do right I’ll step in and do it myself. You could say that I usually do things on my own because I know what I want to do and how I want to get I done. But I know what she went through when she lost her dad I lost my grandma a year ago. So I’m a lot like Blackwell.

Listen to AN INTERVIEW WITH ELIZABETH BLACKWELL

Elizabeth was born in Bristol, England February 3, 1821.  When Elizabeth was just a little girl she only had the comfort of her dad and a little comfort from her sisters. You could say that Elizabeth had a big family with her mom, dad, 3 sisters, and her 3 year old brother Samuel living under the same roof. Well it wasn’t that easy to explain many other Blackwell babies died. Almost everyone of her children died! Elizabeth went to school at her own house tutors taught everyone at their house because at the time they couldn’t find a school that would except them all. When Elizabeth had free time she would spend it teaching black kids at her house too. She thought that they deserved to be educated. So she taught them everything she could although she didn’t like it she was doing something nice for someone else. Only one thing inspired her at a young age it was becoming a doctor. While her sisters were teaching she would sneak away to read books about bodies and sicknesses. She learned so much and it made her even more interested. 5 months after they moved to Cincinnati her father died of a sickness that put his life in danger for many, many years. When Elizabeth heard that her father was dead she wanted to learn more, and to definitely become a doctor so that she can stop things like that from happening. When Elizabeth was a young woman the only job she could get was a teaching job. Sense she was well educated the job was ok for her. When she was old enough she packed her bags quit her job and applied for 30 medical colleges. 29 medical colleges rejected her but 1 medical college accepted her. It was a little medical school in Geneva. Everyone thought that she would surely faint when she saw blood on the first day and get kicked out. But she did not faint at the first drop on blood. Soon her men classmates started to respect her and respect the courage that she had. She graduated first from the class. And then she was what she dreamed to be. She was the first woman doctor. At first she worked with babies. Soon she caught a sickness in her eye and they had to replace it. But that didn’t stop Elizabeth from pursuing her dreams. Shortly after that she adopted an orphan named Kitty. Kitty always called her “My doctor.” Elizabeth opened up her own hospital for poor women and children she thought they deserved medical treatment even if they can’t pay for some of it. Soon after that she went back to Bristol, England the place of her birth and died at the age of 89.
