Benjamin Franklin
I was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. I was the tenth son of soap maker, Josiah Franklin. My mother was Abiah Folger, the second wife of Josiah. In all, Josiah has fathered 17 children.
Josiah intended for me to enter into the clergy. However, Josiah could only afford to send me to school for one year and clergymen needed years of schooling. But, as young I loved to read he had him apprenticed to my brother James, who was a printer. After helping James compose pamphlets and set type which was grueling work, 12-year-old me would sell our products in the streets.
Experimenting. Being a lawyer.

I am Code_Green's lawyer. Surely the man who invented Electricity can prove that Code is innocent?
