ELIZABETH BLACKWELLElizabeth Blackwell arrived in New York with her family at the age of 11. Elizabeth was training to be a teacher there. She was born on February 3, 1821. Elizabeth never wanted to become a doctor. Whenever he felt bad he would go into a closet and sit there until he felt better or he would just go for a walk outside. Elizabeth was actually disgusted by the body parts. One day at school, her science class was examining a target and she started to feel a little disgusted. But one day, her friend Mary Donaldson felt sick in the hospital. Elizabeth went to visit her. He continued to comfort her and make her better. Until Mary said something. Something that changed everything Elizabeth Blackwell had ever thought about. Mary told Elizabeth that she should pursue a medical career. Elizabeth was very surprised. He even laughed at Mary's idea. But then, Elizabeth really started to think, could I become a doctor? Then she came back to reality. How can a woman become a doctor? He yelled at Mary for a while, but then Mary said. “I know you can be one. You can change the world, Elizabeth!” Elizabeth sat down because she couldn't believe her friend Mary. Shortly thereafter he left the hospital. Elizabeth thought about it day and night. He thought about it as he taught. He thought about it as he drank his tea. She thought about it while she cleaned the house or washed clothes, or dried clothes, or cleaned desks, or had brunch. He wanted to know if it would work. Then he realized he wanted to be, just for a little while. She asked her friends, strangers, everyone around her if she could really do it. Everyone laughed at her. Actually not everyone, some assumed it was...half of paper......Women and children. Their hospital was run entirely by women and helped serve the poor. Although Elizabeth had few patients, she was truly happy to have made it this far. He once had a patient with pneumonia. When expanding the hospital, Elizabeth and Emily included a medical school for women. The most important thing was that Elizabeth loved waking up in the morning, looking at herself in the mirror because she finally realized that she was the first doctor in the world. She was the first woman to earn a medical degree in the United States. In 1851, Elizabeth saw many prejudices as a female doctor, but was still very happy. Elizabeth lived from 1821 to 1910. This teaches everyone in the world a lesson. You can do anything if you try hard enough and remember, if there is an obstacle in your way, just go around it. Believe me, you will find a way.
