feeling that my sisters described when they went to work everyday. On the third day of my sixth internship, my manager at the Depositary Trust & Clearing Corporation informed me that the building was on mandatory lockdown due to a breach in their settlement system and we could not leave until the issue was resolved. I sat at work for over fifteen hours listening to our team work together to solve this issue and as my boss explained the circumstances, that was occurring I realized that I was experiencing

his mother’s death, Sherwood Anderson writes, “I have seen my own mother stand all day over a washtub, washing the dirty linen of the pretentious middle-class women not fit to tie her shoelaces, this just to get her sons enough food to keep them alive, and I presume I shall never in my life see a working woman without identifying her with my mother (Letters)” (Colquitt 19).

Imagine being a settler in an unknown land. No food, a lack of water, and disease spreading like wildfire. Fear of death was great. When English settlers began arriving on the James River in the Chesapeake Bay region of Virginia in the Spring of 1607, no one had a clue of the terrible future that awaited for most of them.
