Who is your hero, fictional or not? My grandma. Her mother died at a young age. In high school, she moved to a neighboring city and took a job as a live-in housekeeper for a wealthy family so she could attend the superior school in that district. Her father died shortly after. She adopted her baby sister, got married, put herself through college and graduated with a secretarial degree (which was the closest she could get to a business degree). She went on to have seven children, own a hardware store, grocery store, nursing home, pizza restaurant, sandwich shop and TV repair store. She is in her 90s and the most strategic and savvy business person I’ve ever met.
If you could meet anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? Why? Lizzie Borden. I want to know if my theory about the crime is correct.
