QUOTING ELEANOR

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt came from a longtime

affluent New York family. She was a niece of Theodore Roosevelt,

26th President of the United States, and 6th cousin of

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 32nd President of the United States,

who became her husband.

She was a shy child who experienced death at a

young age. Eleanor's Mother died when she was 8 and

she became an orphan, at the age of 10, with the

death of her Father.

Eleanor attended school in England when she was a teenager.

When life is too easy for us,

we must beware or we may not be

ready to meet the blows

which sooner or later

come to everyone,

rich or poor.

Eleanor Roosevelt
