As for accomplishments, I just did what I had
to do as things came along.

• Eleanor Roosevelt was born in New York City, on
  October 11, 1884. Her parents were Elliot
  Roosevelt, an alcoholic, and Anna Hall, a mother
  who never had time to spend with her. However
  1892 her mother died, and 2 years later her
  father passed as well. Eleanor and her older
  brother were sent to live with her grandmother,
  Mrs. Valentine G. Hall, in Tivoli, NY. She was
  educated by a private tutor until the age of 15,
  where she was sent to Allenswood, a school for
  girls in England where she met the Head Mistress,
  Marie Souvestre, who helped her work on her self
  confidence. At 18 Eleanor Roosevelt returned to
  New York where she resided with her cousin.

Eleanor Roosevelt a very admirable
women

• Eleanor Roosevelt a women that should be admired
  However died on November 7, 1962, in New York
  City from disseminated tuberculosis, a plastic
  anemia and heart failure. She was 78 years old.
  Eleanor was one of whose women that always worked
  as hard as she could. She was a women whose
  opinions had to be heard. Eleanor always helped
  when she could, and gave money when she could.

• Eleanor Roosevelt was a women that made sure the
  right thing was being done, and made sure that
  she did what she thought was right. Now The
  Eleanor Roosevelt Center at Val-Kill , which is a
  not profitable organization, embraces her voice
  and does everything that she probably would have
  done if she alive.
