About Me |
|
| To really get the whole picture, please venture to read "Ben Franklin: The Enlightened American" above in my blog section. It's is a beautifully executed paper that my one true love, my little crazy mickrican, wrote about me...it should sum it all up! As she so eloquently put it: "Franklin was born the son of a candle-maker and received only two years of formal education. However, through his talent and hard work and a self-made education based largely on experience, Franklin rose from his humble origins to become one of the greatest American minds and a proud pillar of our national heritage. Today Ben Franklin is recognized as an American statesman, printer, journalist, scientist, author, publisher, philanthropist, abolitionist, public servant, librarian, diplomat, inventor, musician, economist and thinker. No one exemplifies the awesome power of the individual, first foreseen by the great thinkers of the Age of Enlightenment, more than Benjamin Franklin, the Enlightened American." I couldn't have said it any better...Is she not the best?! I'm so lucky! Take a minute from your day and read it...it's well worth the time. Maybe it will help people realize that flying a freakin kite wasn't my greatest accomplishment!
