．Elizabeth had great trouble in finding a school to attend. No medical school would accept a woman student. So she studied by herself at first. She was helped by a few doctors who did believe that women should have the same chance to work as men did.

In 1847 she asked to be accepted at a small medical school in New York. Largely as a joke, the school accepted her. The teachers and students were all men. They waited for Elizabeth to make a fool on herself and then go away. But Elizabeth felt she could learn anything a man could learn. And she proved it. No one laughed at her. The jokes stopped. But none of the town-people would speak to her. They thought she was wrong to study medicine.

As a student, Elizabeth helped treat sick poor people during her summer holidays. She found out that she had much more to learn as she tried to help them. "I must learn more." She said. "There is so much work to be done among the sick. Somehow I must get other women to help me!"

That autumn she returned to school. Elizabeth Blackwell became a doctor in 1849.She was the first woman in the United States to become a doctor.

Mom and dad are two of the most important people in your life. And they’re likely to influence you more than anyone else. It’s parents’ job to love and guide kids—and most parents will do this as long as they live, even when the “kids” are grown-ups and have children of their own. That means you have many years ahead to share with your mom and dad. So how to get along with parents?

Spend time together. When at home, ask your mom and dad to play with you instead of playing a computer game or watching TV. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out loud.

Share your feelings and ask for help. Many kids say they’d like their parents to help them when they’re upset. But your mom or dad might not know that you’re having a problem. Tell a parent if you’re sad or struggling with something.

Be kind, little things might mean a lot to your mom or dad. You can brighten a parent’s day with a hug, a card, or a joke. It’s also lovely when a kid offers to help fold the laundry or cleans up his or her room without being asked.

__________. Some families are always kissing and hugging, and saying “I love you”, while other families may not do like that. But it’s important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, and being polite and thoughtful.

Do your best at whatever you do. You don’t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how you’re turning into such a great kid.
