An Award for EleanorAn Award for Eleanor

I gave Eleanor the Best First Lady Award because I think Eleanor wasthe best First Lady. I think this because Eleanor was kind and caring towards every citizen of the U.S. White or black skin, rich or poor, child or adult, man or womanit didn’t matter to her. She helpedall of them. In 1939 Eleanor started to receive letters from different people asking for help withmany different things. She fulfilled all of their requests. Eleanor did many great things in her life. She was part of thousands of organizations. She protested for women’s rights. I think Eleanor was an amazing womanand furthermore, an amazing First Lady.
