Some Japanese Americans came to the camps alone and some were with family; some came sick and some came healthy. The strength and vulnerabilities helped determine the possibility of them surviving. I was lucky to have not come alone because that was a difficult road to be on. Some Japanese Americans got minor jobs around the camp to earn a small amounts of money to help support themselves and their family. I was lucky to have a wife to look after my son while i was taking intense courses to train to be an emergency doctor in the camp. I was sent out a lot to other nearby camps often to help with the medical aid; in return my family was taken care of and supported by the camp government community in Poston, Arizona. If i didn't have a loyal wife to watch after my son i wouldn't have been able to provide for my son as much as i did because i wouldn't have had anyone to watch him while i was away. My son and other children were expected to go to school in the mornings (School was provided by outsiders concerned of the camps well being/ as well as school supplies and teachers). My wife had a minor job of a cashier at a vegetable post while our son was at school. After school was over food was served in Mess Halls. The Mess Halls were very crowded and the food was served military style and was nasty and cheap due to the cost and need for the amount of food being served. My family relied less on the food provided and was able to eat vegetables and other sold foods in the camps we could afford.
