Todays stock market is at a low right now and is putting quite the scare into people because we are becoming more and more in debt.  People are starting to panic and wonder what to do. Many are scared of a repeat of the "great depression". During the great depression one lady really helped people get back on their feet and one of her organizations is still running and helping people to this very day.

"Eleanor saw how passionate her husband was about getting this country back on its feet" and she realized the importance of people needing to get jobs and the need for jobs to be created.
Eleanor helped set up organizations nation wide that helped make jobs, she helped make tree cutting services, and helped get road clean up crews put together as well along with tons of other things this helped make jobs for thousands.

What she did was great because we didn't just give out money that we didn't have to get out of the mess we got our selves into, we encouraged people to get jobs to up the money flow and when there wasn't enough jobs we made some so that people would work and earn their money instead of just handing it out to them.

Eleanor wasn't a hypocrite either.  She didn't just say what we needed to do and then sit there and do nothing, she invested as much time as she could in her campaigns she maintained not only her home life,  but also "maintained a measure of independent public and political life by spending three days a week at the family’s home in New York City, supporting the Val-Kill factory and teaching classes at Todhunter"

This shows not only people reading about her 50 years down the road that she was a hard worker but it showed and encouraged the people the was campaigning for to work hard and do their best. She juggled a home life, a political life and a campaigning life to better Americans.

Being a teenager I understand juggling lives and having to manage your time wisely, you have to do school work, keep up with friends and for most stay in tune with extra curriculum activities. It can be stressful as a teen, so I can only imagine the amount of stress of doing that and being the wife the president of the U.S.

We should all strive to work hard to not only better our selves but the people around us we should learn from Mrs. Roosevelt and learn from her actions.
