Journal 14

If I were Benjamin Franklin's apprentice, I would probably love my job.  Ben Frank was a unique man and always did something exciting (or at least we always hear about the interesting things).  He also invented many useful things that we use to this day.  He was a genius and was remembered for that.  I wouldn't be shocked if I wasn't good enough or efficient enough to be his apprentice simply because he was always busy doing something.  I think that it would be awesome to do all of this stuff.

One morning I woke up and and Ben was standing over my bed.  He told me to get dressed and eat some breakfast.  I was confused because normally he was already doing his daily routine when I got up breaking something or fumbling around playing with some new gadget he had made.  What made this day unique was how Benjamin Franklin changed history.  As it turns out, he had already been up, in fact he hadn't gone to sleep yet since the night before.  I went to bed two past twelve plenty tired.  I suggested to Ben to do the same but know his stubborn attitude he would be up for at least a couple more hours.  Once I had gotten ready, he rushed me out to the old barn in his backyard.  Once he opened the doors I was looking at a metal box, not quite sure what I was looking at.  He said it was a stove.  I didn't quite understand what a stove was until he explained it.  Turns out, it was a pretty cool invention.  It was a way to cook your food at certain temperatures without having to tend it the entire time and you could cook it evenly.  I loved being Ben Franklin's apprentice and it was so much fun.  If i could I would go back in a heartbeat.
