Hey look i found the commercial i was telling you about in english soo here it is....
so I am glad that everyone knows that we are on the same page now. Physical Education rocks!
:)
I had seen that commercial too. When I was reading McIntosh where she says "If I should need to move, I can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in an area that I can afford and in which I would want to live," I thought about that commercial.
I thought our discussion in class today was great. You got to hear from a lot of people who don't say very much in class. Also, I felt like everyone was very passionate about the Kozol article in the same way I was when i read it. :)
The discussion in class was very interesting. Although, it is hard to believe that there are hospitals and neighborhoods like those mentioned in Kozol’s article I know is the truth and as Kandance said, it’s hard to believe that the government expenses so much money helping other countries when the money should be spend here instead.
Let me tell you a bit about myself. I grew up in the South Bronx. I lived four or five blocks away from the hospital and my first summer job was at Bronx Lebanon Hospital. My husband was born at Bronx Lebanon and one of my cousins is a Primary Care Physician at Bronx Lebanon. I remembered when I was told that I was going to work at the hospital. I felt so happy because I always wanted to be a nurse and working at hospital was going to be a great experience. But when I got to Bronx Lebanon I was in shock. I couldn’t believe how patients were treated. In the article, when Mrs. Washington said that she waited in the emergency room for two days she isn’t exaggerating that’s the truth. Thank God my family and I were pretty healthy; otherwise you know where we were going to end up. My father does construction work and one day he cut his finger, he left early from work and went to the emergency room at Bronx Lebanon. It was around 1pm when he arrived at the hospital and they saw him around 2am and that was because he started complaining and arguing with the nurses. He asked to speak with the attending, otherwise he would have stayed there for 12 more hours. That happened in 1993/94 and do you think things have changed since. It’s sad, but no, maybe there are a bit just a bit better. It was a challenge for me to grow up in the Bronx. I was a challenge for me to go to school there, but I survived like many other people. I was lucky because even though my school wasn’t that great I had excellent teachers.
