As the oldest daughter of six children, America entered WWII when I was just 4 months old. My mother was my greatest mentor, my inspiration, She provided enough tips to fill many books. I attended Barnard College and graduated in 1963 Soon after, I married Andy Stewart an amazing man, Our beautiful daughter Alexis was born in 1965. I worked as a stockbroker for Monness, Sidel, and Williams And worked on wall street until 1972 I trained myself to be a gourmet chef, by reading Julia Childs, Mastering the Art of French Cooking. I started my own business, And within 10 short years, it had become a 1 million dollar project. My TV show was a hit! Viewers wanted more! My books were popular, my dream was coming true. I went to prison, I was ashamed. I am here today, Who am I? Martha Stewart By: Emily Moser Grade 6 Harmony Middle School Overland Park Teacher: Beth Cochran
