To All Latchkey Orphans: Who Is Annie?

http://userpages.aug.com/captbarb/firsts2.html

Was it extremely difficult for Annie, you think, and why exactly?

Were there miracles that occurred, combined with studying every single day, from childhood that contributed to her phenomenal abilities?

Was she gifted, and disciplined, in order to become the first, African-American, enlisted, U.S. Marine?

How could I become more like Annie/assist, or serve future "Annies"?

Would Annie have positive role models, willing to train, mentor, inspire and heal this generation at Eiber Elementary School, in Lakewood, Colorado?

Am I willing to pack/ask for an extra sandwich, to offer to a poor friend, at the public school bus stop? Will I try to accomplish that goal once per week, if possible?

Am I willing to read "The Lords of Discipline," and research the African-American, civil rights movement in-depth?
