Eleanor Roosevelt is an amazing women. I became interested in her as I worked on the Dear American Unit Study that I posted last week, so I have decided to investigate her a little more.
"One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else."
