Atlanta Community Observation

The organization that I participated in was the Atlanta Community Food Bank. This group provided foods to the people who are unable to afford food in a supermarket. It holds several events that allow many people to come and volunteer. The event that I participated was the Marta Fresh Market Produce, and that is held every week from Tuesday to Friday in different Marta Station. Honestly, I believe this was a terrific idea because it allowed people who have no rides to get food before they leave to support their family. Another, thing that was good about the Fresh Market Produce is their special offer with EBT. If a person uses an EBT card whatever they buy, the total price is half price off. However, that is not the only form of payment

    Atlanta Economy Case Study

    the south’s economy must also be increasing dramatically. This leads to the question of the demographics of who is moving there, and what jobs they are taking, or what jobs they are making available. With Atlanta, Georgia being the place that looks like it will be the new capital of the south, and a big time destination for domestic migrants that seems like a good place to start to collect data for this. In 2010 women accounted for half of the population at 50.2%, blacks and African Americans accounted for 54%, so by this data the minorities in most states account for half of the city’s population.…

    My Philosophy Of Medicine

    Medicine fascinated me even when I was a child. I remember being about eight years old when my pediatrician asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Without hesitation, I told him I wanted to be a doctor. I view medicine as discovery, the chance to learn the science surrounding the human body and develop the skills that will allow me to heal others. As I entered college, I pursued experiences that exposed me to the world of medicine, becoming more involved within my community and university.…
