SSIS Names & Faces
The Daily Occurrence of Alice
by Nikola Nedev, Yuri Ogasawara, and Ashley Sewell
You come to school everyday. You study, you eat, and when you get hurt someone is always there to treat you. A nameless person, almost invisible, looks after you when you need it and disappears from your mind once you’re well again. Have you ever taken the time to look at the person who is mending your wounds?
Alice Cai. Since 2008 she has been taking care of the students of SSIS. A graduate of Nanjing University, she had always wanted to work in medicine, but these jobs are hard to come across. Looking through newspapers and refreshing pages on her Internet browser she finally found the job that led her to where she is now.
On her first day thoughts ran through her brain like the students ran through the hallways. “I was amazed by how global, and how high the educational level was in SSIS”, she said. “Compared to the school I was in when I was fifteen, it is completely different; SSIS is cleaner and more fashionable.” Though it is completely different from the school she used to be in, SSIS students do remind her of her childhood, which she believes was the best time of her life. One thing that came to her mind made her smile. “One time for 2 weeks I didn’t go to school so I could learn how to drive.” She laughs a little, reminded of her childhood antics.
Even though she is still young being at a school does make her feel older. “When I see all the students running around”, she says, “it makes me feel so old.”
Training to be a nurse has left her anything but naive. “I remember once when I worked at a hospital I saw this man with a skin disease. It looked and smelled horrible. I don’t like seeing really serious diseases so that’s one of the reasons I applied for this job. There are serious injuries here; broken arms and legs which then become swollen. But nothing like in a hospital.”
Her life so far has left her with some wisdom, which she offers for the students of SSIS. “Don’t just have one point of view. Instead, learn more things and get more experience in everything so it can help you.”
It’s a daily occurrence at SSIS: someone grazes a leg or twists an ankle, and a young nurse bends down to wrap up the wound. Why not speak to her? The chances are, she would enjoy talking to you. Her name is Alice.

I always wanted to be a doctor but I don't like seeing serious disease either, so I decided I want to be one of those doctors that works at a childrens hospital that treats not-so-serious diseases, or maybe a psychiatrist.
I liked your introduction, as it leaves a question for the readers to read on and find the answers to. I also like the conclusion. However, the content could of been a bit better with the information more organized. I mean, the content does not have to be astonishing information, it just has to be put in a way so that readers could be impacted on what you have written.
And the transitions from paragraph to paragraph could of been better since some sentences don't fit with the preceding one and it feels like different people have written different parts and you just glued them together.
Otherwise, good names and faces project.

I really liked how you wrote this article! It feels so...authentic. You have a great blend of facts, dialogue and personal opinion in this. You focus more on the less common questions, the things that make her what she is. The whole thing flows well, and is easy to read. Oh, and love the ending. :)
