The Eleanor Roosevelt Story

The film chronologically narrates Eleanor Roosevelt's life from childhood to her role in public. Her figure was displayed correctly in terms of history and events. Video clips were shown of her humor and standing for human rights with human suffering and wars happening in the forefront.

I particularly only (really) enjoyed the last thirty minutes of the film. It showed her conquest of fighting for rights and her traveling throughout the world. I was bored with her history yet admire her upbringing and connection with her husband.

What I can come out of this film is a strong prominent female figure who stated her opinion and went against the grain and helped people in oppressed states. She was a role model or given in terms of a saint who will be admired by generations to come. I need to view this film twice. I rather read a book prior to this action.

Off on my own key, one should find the less fortunate and give aid whether by words or support. Imagine if one commercial showed that every human reaches their thoughts or hands and help their fellow man. The world would slightly move in even greater direction. Could we ask for only five seconds of our time to help?

There was a time when I was arriving back from Boston Logan Airport to Sea-Tac Airport. My flight was delayed and arrived to an almost emptied airport in middle of the night. Everyone left. I had to find transportation back to my loft. My original decision weighed on the Super Shuttle service. As I was way into my head, then I heard a very young woman crying and a baby (a newborn) crying. I turned and asked if she was okay. She expressed, No!" She was on the phone with her aged grandparents. She didn't have a ride home with no money - her family ignored and forgotten her arrival. She said that they (her sisters and brothers) rather be at an afterhours nightclub. I frowned. How in the hell do you allow a newborn stranded in this frigid rainy Northwest weather? Damn fucking people as Eleanor Roosevelt would curse about people as well.

I asked her, "How are you going to get home?" She tried calling and calling again. I spoke with her grandparents on speakerphone - they were very worried but couldn't drive due to night vision blindness. My grandmother had the same problem when she was alive.

I made a quick decision to rent a car and take the young woman and her baby to her grandparents' place. She had no one to help her. It took a hour and half for the drive but at the end - it was rewarding. I met her grandparents at the door as tears were coming down their faces. They were happy with the huge smiles and the cutest accents that their granddaughter and great grandbaby were safe. They were the nicest people who lived on a farm. I came out with the best Caribbean food and lots of fresh farm eggs. I will never forget that night. I came home around 9 a.m. and was awake for the rest of the day with a smile. I had no sleep but helping someone made up for it.
