“In the hallways afterward, the other kids kept coming up to tell me how lucky I was. “What was he really like?” they asked. “What did he say?” Everyone treated me with such deference accorded to only the school’s top athletes.

”Have I ever let you down?”, Dad asked. I’ve heard that question at least two hundred times, and I’d always answered it the way I knew he wanted me to, because I thought it was my faith in Dad that had kept him going all those years.

'I was three years old... I was wearing the dress to cook hotdogs."- Jeannette

Jeannette is the definition of self sufficient as she did everything with little to no help. Her making hotdogs at the age of 3 says it all.  She was the leader and parent in the family. The picture is a representation of her being the leader in the family.
