I was born in Westerville Ohio and lived there until fourth grade. I moved to O'Fallon Missouri and I started my competitive soccer career. I played for a great team even though we lost a lot I still had a lot of fun. I eventually moved back to Ohio because my dad received a promotion and continued to play soccer. I also started to get into snowboarding and paint balling. I also love to play video games even though I am not really proud of my addiction. I also work at the Columbus Zoo and sell food to the people wondering the zoo. A lot of people actually don't know that I received vary bad second degree burns from this job. My hand went into a deep-frier while I was attempting to clean it. So ever since I have been looking for a different job.
The essay, "On Washing Hands" made me realize how many diseases where really in hospitals and the precautions the try to take to prevent these infections from spreading. I always knew a hospital was a place where a disease could explode, but I never knew the doctors and nurses where always fighting to prevent these diseases from spreading. I was shocked when the book said, "Each year two million Americans acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Ninety thousand die of that infection" because I have been in the hospital several times for serious injuries.
You're missing a quote at the beginning of your second paragraph. I was surprised how little doctors wash their hands aswell.
ReplyDeleteYou should try adding a quote from the story that will show when you had your realization.
ReplyDeleteI was also shocked by the amount of times doctors wash their hands compared to how much they're supposed to.
