Martha Stewert

Martha Stewart was born on August 3rd, 1941.
Martha's mother was an expert seamstress.
Martha was expected to learn all these skills herself, and do them right the first time.
She was always involved in things that helped develop the person she is today, always learning.
She loved to read and was a whiz kid at math and science, she was very exceptional at art.
Her father spoke fluent polish, and she would cook traditional polish food.
With six kids and a low paying job, she had to pay her own way for college.
In 1958 she learnt the girl across the street was making good money modelling clothes.
She was in a commercial.
She was responsible for creating the theme a details for prom.
She gained a partial college to one of the top woman college's in New York.
Everyday she commuted from her parent's house to attend classes in art and history, she would then slip off to do work in modelling.
When she returned home, she seemed to sleep less and less.
besides her studies, she believed her modelling career would help her achieve success.
Andy Stewart, a 23 year old law student from Yale University was Martha's first serious boyfriend.
Martha decided to drop out of school, worked full time as a model to help Andy through law school. Her friends were mystified.
Andy represented a world she had never been exposed to before.
In 1963, he took Martha to see Europe, stopping in France, Italy and Greece. They did all that on $5 a day.
Andy and Martha moved to the upper west side, and Martha went back to school to finish her degree.
Martha's modelling was put on hold when she had a baby daughter in the September of 1965.
She found it increasingly difficult to find a job because of her already having a child.
She set her sites on wall street.
From 1968-1971, Martha was commanding a six figure salary.
In 1972, they decided to move into a farm house in Connecticut.
Their house has been built in 1805, and it looked like nothing had been done to it since.
Martha and Andy were both holding full time jobs.
She was very capable of losing her temperature when things didn't do right.
She got a book deal and was an instant success.
Her father had a heart attack at 68, and passed away.
It wasn't enough to set the table with forks and knifes. Everything had to fit in a carefully orchestrated theme.
Her business consumed almost all of her energy.
Her public persona was making her an inviting target for criticism.
Critics came up with a host of unflattering comments.
She acted as a spokesperson for K-Mart.
In 1988 her marriage to Andy was falling apart.
Martha did her very best to keep her private life out of the public eye.
She wanted to launch her own magazine.
It was one of the most profitable starts in magaziene history.
In 1993, she created her own televsion show.
She was the subject of numeruous parady's.

What I learnt from Martha Stewart:
Trying different things in life can help you figure out who you really want to be, just try not to forget about the people who mean the most to you along the way.
