I was not sure about what to write for my journals, I did not want to write more than just my daily duties. I ended up thinking that writing about my perspectives, goals, objectives about my duties at work and the homeless shelter system.

She often mentions how various members of the town have instilled in her the idea that she must be grateful to Royall for rescuing her as a young child and ought to be ashamed of her Mountain heritage.

Born in New York City to an economically disadvantaged Bukharian Jewish family, I grew up in government-subsidized housing projects, where I was raised with people of all races, cultures, and ethnicities. Growing up in Starrett City contributed to my decision to volunteer at Holy Apostles Soup Kitchen, where I helped individuals lacking access to basic care obtain social services and other amenities.

World War I was a very sad event for the soldiers and their families. Because of this war, soldiers received mental illnesses, immune diseases, and physical injuries in the trenches and in battle. This is similar to how people lived in the 1930's in the Great Depression, and how they developed mental illness and immune system disease.

To begin with, soldiers suffered from mental and immune diseases between 1914-1918 because of the war.
