reflection

I found a lot of interesting facts about my person as in she was :

• First Lady* of the United States as wife of the first US President, George Washington.


• Martha's son Jacky enlisted as an aide to his stepfather, serving briefly during the siege at Yorktown, dying after only a few days of what was called camp fever. and she cried for sveral days or so.


• *First Lady: the term "First Lady" came into use many years after Martha Washington's death; it's used here in its modern sense.

i found a lot of information on her where at some point i did want to leran more about her

she was a good woman aNd I hope people will see that. I had fun exporling about martha washington .

Would you be friends with your person now if he or she were still alive? Why or why not

I would be friends with my person because she was kind,gental, and warmcaring . I think she was warm caring because when it came to other people like the soilders she took care of them until they were better. and she was also very caring to her children too.
