Eleanor Roosevelt
I am Eleanor Anna Roosevelt, the 32nd First Lady of the United States. I was born on October 11, 1884 in New York City. I was raised with unhappy parents. My mother was always criticizing me and saying that I wasn't good enough. She even called me "Granny" because I was so solemn and timid. My father was very loving but always getting disappointed in me. He was an alcoholic and when I was 7 he had to leave our family to sort out his life. A year later my mother caught Diphtheria and died and when I was 10 my father died of a drunken fall. So, we had to stay with our Grandmother Hall. Grandmother Hall was a very strict and old-fashioned lady. She didn't know what was in style for people my age at that point in time, so she always picked out-of-date clothes for me to wear. Since people made fun of my clothes and me, I became even more fearful and timid. We decided that it would be a good idea for me to have a good education, so I was sent to another mother's home to learn the basics like math, reading and house manners. When I turned 15 and I had completed all of the lessons in that school I still wanted to continue my education, so I was sent to a boarding school in England.
