I was born November 3, 1793 in Austinville, Virginia to Mary and Moses Austin. When I was nine years old we boarded a flatboat to go to Missouri so our family could live without being in debt. We arrived in Missouri and were planning on having a two-story house. Nearby, there was also a barn, stable, smokehouse, blacksmith shop, and henhouse. I often played with the neighbors, which are Indian children.

Introduction: Judy Gerowitz started the Feminist Art program (FAP) at Fresno State in 1970. The program began with 15 female students that she personally recruited. She also launched the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) program in Valencia a year later (Jill Fields, 1). She legally changed her last name afterwards from Gerowitz to Chicago. She was an undergraduate at UCLA (Chicago, 102). Gerowitz was recommended by Oliver Andrews, one of her sculpting professors at UCLA, for teaching at Fresno State.

Margaret Floy Washburn was one of the leading women in the field of psychology in the early 20th century. She came from a wealthy family who was willing to pay her way through school. Given the circumstances, Washburn’s education did not come easy due to gender discrimination. She refused to let this stop her and thereby paved the way for many other females in the field of psychology. However, this is not the extent of her accomplishments. During her career, she contributed 69 experimental studies. Also, she was ranked one of the top 50 psychologists in the country at that time, and this is yet another indicator of how much she contributed to the study of psychology.

As you already know my Aunt Bessie gave me the responsibility of donating her one million dollars to charity. Aunt Bessie and I haven’t talked for over four years. The reason for our prolonged silence with one another is our views. We agreed on everything. But, then we came across immigration issues. Aunt Bessie hated immigrants altogether. The adults, the children, the innocents who came to this great country to better their lives. She claims that they are evil foreigners who come to steal our jobs, bring crime, cause destruction, and many other unspeakable things. I, on the other hand, see them as smart people who wanted to better their lives. After all, America is the land where many came to be free. Our ancestors were foreigners too after all. Other than that Aunt Bessie and I got along. I am really glad that she decided to get rid of our one difference to better other’s lives. So in this letter, I will be telling you what non-profit charities I decided to donate to and how much each charity will get.
