 * Early childhood (What important events happened to this person as a child?

When clara was four years old she was sent to a school named Colonel Richard Stone's school. Clara was did a great job in her studies but she was too shy to get along with other people, or play with them. So on and on the by the time she became eight years old, she did not have any friend at all. In order to overcome her shyness her parents were determined to send to her a boarding school, which was eventually resulted the worse. Eventually Clara was drew back to home.  **Adult Life: (Jobs, Wife or Husband, Children): **  She did not have any children because she was not married, she was a know as a nurse however she was also a teacher once in her life. When she was 15 the phrenologist Fowler advised her parents to have her teach in the school. and finally when she was 17 she became a teacher in Massachusetts’ district. Having teaching experience of 6 years, she founded her own school and after 10 years of teaching she pursued writing and languages at the liberal institute in Clinton, New York, However the school was paid by the parents and clara did want to teach the students who could not even afford to pay the school fee. She was determined to open her own school .She opened her own school in New Jersey it was really popular that had 600 students by then , clara was the head of the boarding school. However the board hired a man instead because that time it was not that pleasant for females to be working. Clara was frustrated and moved to Washington DC. She began to work in as a clerk in US patent office.This time too, she was the first woman who got a change to work as a clerk in the patent’s office. This was the time when the Battle of Bull Run started as the beginning of the Civil war.
 * Education (Early Learning, Schools Attended) ** 

In 1860 Lincoln was elected and the civil war began, Clara wanted to help the soldiers and she volunteered.First she donated supplies and finally she got permission to help soldiers in the battlefield. In 1862 she was permitted to travel to places where fighting was taking place. She first started with passing out the supplies however as she met the people in the war, she could not keep herself away from helping. She was determined to help them as a nurse and she was started to be called as a angel of the battle.

In 1865 Clara received many letters from families looking for soldiers. She helped to find 22000 of them by locating missing soldiers. Her service was continued later on Barton became a public speaker. One day she got too tired of the hard work and suffered from periods of poor health. She was told to take a rest by her doctor. Hoping to get recovered she went to Geneva Switzerland and there met doctor Apia. Doctor Apia told Barton about a nurse named Jean-Henn Durant who had helped soldiers in Europe. Doctor Apia told Barton about the treaty of Geneva that created the Red cross as a symbol for the volunteers to war during battles.Barton had not heard of the treaty of geneva because the us had not signed yet. While barton was staying in Switzerland, the Franco-Prussian War, which France was defeated by a group of German states led by Prussia was began.Clara helped to organize the military hospitals during the war. Barton was the first American to wear the red cross. As soon as the war was over, she was returned from her journey and she tried to get the president to sign the treaty of geneva but the president hayes refused. However in 1882 with her great efforts, the treaty was signed and clara was the leader until the year of 1904.  **<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 126);">Important events or stories about this person as an adult: ** <span style="letter-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(255, 0, 126);"> 1882-> she traveled as a red cross worker to assist victims of fires in Michigan and earthquake victims in Charleston, south Carolina. 1883-> Clara served the superintendent of the women’s reformatory prison in Massachusetts. 1884-> she brought supplies to flood victims along the Ohio River. 1889-> she went to johnstown, pennsylvania after after it suffered a disastrous flood. <span style="letter-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(255, 0, 126);"> **<span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 126);">Why is this person remembered/known? ** This person, Clara barton is remembered/know as the angel of the battle who devoted herself for the help needed.

Her parents drew her back from the school because clara could not make any friends due to her shyness but when she was in the battlefield helping the soldiers she was not shy at all, i mean if she were shy she must had not been able to help the soldiers. I think this shows that you can overcome your weakness when you really try to.

** I think that my person Clara Barton was a hero not a celebrity.We call someone a hero if that person helped someone in a way or achieved that is really admirable. A celebrity is more like the people who are popular does not really matter if the personinspired you or not, but who is really popular, like the movie stars or singers. I say that Clara Barton was a hero not a celebrity because she helped a lot of the soldiers during the war, carrying supplies for them as well as nursing them. <span style="letter-spacing: 0px; color: rgb(255, 0, 126);"> Other Information: She was small and had lisp.

Quote <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"> • An institution or reform movement that is not selfish, must originate in the recognition of some evil that is adding to the sum of human suffering, or diminishing the sum of happiness. • I may be compelled to face danger, but never fear it, and while our soldiers can stand and fight, I can stand and feed and nurse them. • The conflict is one thing I've been waiting for. I'm well and strong and young -- young enough to go to the front. If I cannot be a soldier, I'll help soldiers. • What could I do but go with them [soldiers of the Civil War], or work for them and my country? The patriot blood of my father was warm in my veins. • A ball had passed between my body and the right arm which supported him, cutting through the sleeve and passing through his chest from shoulder to shoulder. There was no more to be done for him and I left him to his rest. I have never mended that hole in my sleeve. I wonder if a soldier ever does mend a bullet hole in his coat? • Oh northern mothers wives and sisters, all unconscious of the hour, would to Heaven that I could bear for you the concentrated woe which is so soon to follow, would that Christ would teach my soul a prayer that would plead to the Father for grace sufficient for you, God pity and strengthen you every one. • I may sometimes be willing to teach for nothing, but if paid at all, I shall never do a man's work for less than a man's pay. • [T]he door that nobody else will go in at, seems always to swing open widely for me. • Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business. • The surest test of discipline is its absence. • It is wise statesmanship which suggests that in time of peace we must prepare for war, and it is no less a wise benevolence that makes preparation in the hour of peace for assuaging the ills that are sure to accompany war. • Economy, prudence, and a simple life are the sure masters of need, and will often accomplish that which, their opposites, with a fortune at hand, will fail to do. • I have an almost complete disregard of precedent and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things always have been done .... I defy the tyranny of precedent. I cannot afford the luxury of a closed mind. I go for anything new that might improve the past. • Others are writing my biography, and let it rest as they elect to make it. I have lived my life, well and ill, always less well than I wanted it to be but it is, as it is, and as it has been; so small a thing, to have had so much about it!
