I have really enjoyed my first few days in New York. My cousin and Aunt took me to Atlantic City for the day on Saturday which was sooooo much fun. Atlantic City is in New Jersey and they have a big shopping centre there, casinos and a beach. The journey up there took about 4 hours and it rained most of the way so didnt manage to get onto the beach which was a shame. I slept most of the way there and back as still hadnt got over my jet lag.
The next day was really hot so went down to Long Island to the beach with my cousin her children and a friend and their family which was really nice. Spent most of the day in the water trying to stay cool! Had a lovely day, felt nice and relaxed ready for my trip up to Syracuse the next day for the Gangs Conference.
About Me
- Donna Marsh on Gangs
- My name is Donna Marsh and I currently work as a Registered Mental Health Nurse in a Prison working mainly with young offenders with mental health problems. I have worked with young people for the past 7 years and find this client group very interesting. With the rise of knife and gun crime in England, I have many dealings with gang members and find it fascinating to find out why young people join gangs and engage in this kind of gang activity. Due to this, I have also been involved in the making of a DVD to raise awareness of knife crime in the UK in conjunction with the prison and a local school, this has been distributed to schools and Young Offenders Institutes across the country.
