  1. Eleanor Roosevelt was never a wanted kid. All her childhood she was left alone. She never had the attention she needs, and the beautiful looks her mother wanted for his little girl, well, actually, their parents were expecting a boy.
    Her mother and brother died because of diphtheria and six months later, she had the unexpected news of the dead of her father. She moved with her older brother, Hall, to their Grandmother´s house.

    Eleanor grew up. She moved place to place looking for opportunities. Finally, something attracted her attention, a great looking man who was her distant causing. A distant cousin, who had great plans. She found true love, but it was kept a secret, finally the truth was out and eventually they got married. Commonly Eleanor, even at her wedding day she was not the center of attention.
    Then children came along. They have six. In 1913 the Roosevelt family move to Washington DC because the husband´s political career was starting. She became 4 years she became actor at the American Great Cross enter in middle care, happy to help and interact with people. With all of this she became tolerant and help people finding new jobs. Also she new things about the heart, something that was not well known by then.

    Also the first 15 years, Eleanor was fascinated with the role of wife and mother and all that changes when she discovered her husband affair with Lucy Mercer, his social secretary, that look a lot like Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor was devastated by the news because she thoughts that her marriage was based on really trust, different from her parent´s marriage.
    Over an awkward reconciliation with her husband, Franklin was concentrating all his energy in his career. He entered in the political business and Eleanor was happy for him. He took his family on a sailing vacation to Canada. Eventually Franklin accidentally fell on the water, and by the next day he was very ill by Polio. Franklin may not walked again, he was paralyze.
    By Eleanor´s health Franklin may walked again but using a little assistance. He made better progress than his doctors predicted. Soon he was back on the political campaign… being named gobernant of NY. Eleanor was proud even if it was another women on the picture.

    Later, she was getting close with a circle of friends, one of her greatest friendships, and with them found a school for girls. It´s function was to get jobs for unemployed workers in NY. Even with that she continued helping her husband´s political career mentioning the campaign in the white house where she was proudly watching her husband loose in he crowd.
    Waiting for the results, Eleanor was uncomfortable living in the white house... she says she may loose her independence. Suddenly the radio starts and announced that Roosevelt had won. By Franklin being in the political government it causes great depression causing 16 million people unemployed. She runs to the crowd and says what she sees, hungry and suffered from the white people. A lot of people abandoned their homes making a tent nation around the country. Eleanor Roosevelt came there and talked to them about their problems. Lately people new that the first lady was not like the other Politians, she was visible, active involved with her husband´s career. People suddenly known that Eleanor was the one who spoke on the radio and traveling all around the world representing her husband.

  2. She finally accepted she likes politics and she was not shy about it. People often complain about her informal way of dressing, but not by her pleasant attitude. Finally Eleanor got her own newspaper called “The Day” because of a joke at Franklin´s birthday party.
    Eleanor´s great friend, Miller, had inspired her to be the passionate women she was. Eventually they remain to be very closed friends before Eleanor´s dead.
    There were found letters written by Eleanor where she expresses her feeling to Urina, another friend. Some people things they had a relationship or something, but it isn´t really known.

    Eleanor likes to help others that cannot help themselves. In Colombia she visited many welfare hospitals were she helped people. She became the center of the country.

    Eleanor was the first lady to be at the National Committee, and it shows that the people there were astonished by the dignity of her presence. She told the committee the things she found about the institutions and the civilization.

    Mrs. Roosevelt supports a black women to sing at the Lincoln memorial don´t caring about the opinion of her husband Franklin. 7.5 million people participate to hear the women sing. When Franklin ask her to bring him a report of the troops, Eleanor was eager to go. Mrs. Roosevelt went to a round with the troop helping soldiers with their wealth. By the end of the trip she loose 25 pounds. She was the first person to accomplished more well at those areas. She brought hope to people all around. She made a supporting speech about the men in the troops naming them “their men” “their saviors”.

    Lately the country was hit by the terrible news that Franklin Roosevelt had died. Eleanor was not present at his dead; she was helping people at Washington Dc. When she heard the news she rush to attend the funeral. She felt really bad about this catastrophe, she thought the career of politics for her was over, but she still kept their helping and being in politics.

    A year about her husband´s death Eleanor accepts the request to join as a country in the United Nations. More lately as her role of the first lady, she was lately going to become more at the world´s peace. Between tutoring she help helping the Nazi camps, and also made a promise of helping to keep maintain the human rights all over the world.

    Finally she had made her greatest achievement of getting unite with the United Nations. After the ceremony, she traveled all around the world to help people like racial equality and worldwide human rights. She made a strong public reaction of hope. Her bad health put back her busy schedule. Finally he died by an illness at age of 78.

  5. Eleanor Roosevelt became an orphan at an early age, when her mother died when she was just eight years old. Her father died shortly thereafter of alcoholism. She was educated by her wealthy grandmother. Her grandmother told her she needed to be educated in order to do well in society. Eleanor was bored with high society, and left her grandmother and returned to New York. There her curiosity led her to see the way others lived and how much they suffered. She met and fell in love with Franklin D. Roosevelt and they married. He would later become the President of the United States and she would become the First Lady. Because President Roosevelt suffered from paralysis Eleanor did a lot of traveling to represent her husband. She was a tireless worker for the poor, especially children. She was the first First Lady who had her own staff and her own mission to do good with her role.

  6. Eleanor Roosevelt was a kid that did not had a happy childhood. She suffer a lot because her mother and brother died when she was young. Suddenly she hears the terrible news that her father had died too so, she moved to her Grandmother's house in New York. After a while of being there she went to a school in England. A while pass and she had a secret love with his distant cousin Franklin who had great plans for his future. Franklin's mother took him to cruise so Eleanor couldn't see him.

  7. Ms. Roosevelt, a very inspiring women whom many people, including me I shall say, look forward to. She would proudly fight for world peace and human rights. You could infer that she had a perfect childhood that inspired her to be so inspiring, but it was not at all a childhood anyone would want to experience.

    Eleanor Roosevelt had a very demeaning childhood, but perhaps she could go over it and become a lovely woman. Eleanor was perhaps a lonely orphan. She thrived to have a slight balance between her appearance and her private life. Her mother's family was gorgeous and beautiful, this is why she was a huge disappointment, she was ugly. Eleanor's mother mistreated her so she would only look forward to her father. Disappointingly, her father is alcoholic, but that would not change Eleanor's opinion about her dear father. When Eleanor was only eight, her mother died, so she was sent alongside with one of her siblings to New York. Later, depressing news came. Her father had died, which created a great sorrow and fear inside her.

    Eleanor was educated in England, where she became very curious and mature. Within these years of education, a very special young man came to her life, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a Harvard senior. They were secretly engaged in 1903, and it wasn't until 1905 that they could once and for all marry each other. Together they had six children, but one of them failed to live.

    In 1913, the Roosevelt family moves to Washington D.C. For the first fifteen years of marriage they seemed as the perfect couple, but all that changed when Eleanor discovered Franklin was going out with another girl, Lucy Mercer. Mr. Roosevelt came back from a military trip with pneumonia. With all the Lucy situation going on, Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt almost got a divorce, but they were awkwardly pardoned.

    F.D.R. decided to take his family into a carefree vacation, but that sure did not turn out well. He had fell of a boat, and became very ill. He was diagnosed with polio, a lethal disease. The disease left him paralyzed from waste down. Though, he rehabilitated much faster than any human soul could think of. Luckily, F.D.R. was back on the campaign.

    Ms. Roosevelt was a woman whom was loved by all as much as she loved all. She decided to start a school for girls. It is believed that her friends were lesbian women. Children would love her o much that songs would be singed and roses would be given to her to determine their humongous love for her.

    No matter in what conditions, nothing would back her off from helping, especially during world war 2. That, which made her become the target of attack. She would travel around the world to attend tributes, but perhaps her health was indeed not as good as before, which made her have to slow down slightly.

    In November, 1962, Mrs. Kennedy started a different journey, the journey to heaven. She was, and still is one of the most honorable women in history, and her soul would always be alive with us. Eleanor Roosevelt, a woman that will forever be known as the first lady of the world.

  8. Eleanor Roosevelt was not like the other first ladies. Although she had a hard childhood she always did her best and she stood up for her beliefs. Eleanor was born in a family filled of handsome persons, due to that her mother called her "Granny" because of her ugly looks. We can also include Eleanor´s mother had preference for her sons. Eleanor´s father died for alcoholism and her mother and brother from diphtheria. She also lost her brother real young because diphtheria was an illness hard to cure.

    She was secretly engaged with her distant cousin Franklin Roosevelt and after confessing about their engagement they got married and had six kids.

    Franklin got polio and went paralytic. He improved a lot thanks to his determination and Eleanor´s help. After winning the elections Eleanor and Franklin were not like a couple anymore, they were more like politic partners.

    After Franklin´s death at the age of sixty-three the idea of quitting politics crossed through Eleanor´s mind, but quickly she reflected and decided to keep involved in it.

    She enjoyed helping others and she was always trying to get peace and equality. Eleanor considered everyone part of the Nation no matter the race nor religion, thats why she is remembered today. Not only for that she is remembered, also for her determination, the support she gave to her husband, her love to politics and Eleanor was more than a first lady. Maybe not the prettiest of all, but she had faith and fought for her beliefs and goals close to her heart.
