When Jennifer Garner bought her family farm in Locust Grove, Oklahoma, it was to preserve her family’s legacy, but now it will still be a place where the memory of her father will live. The actress sadly announced that her father passed away on Saturday.

Actress Jennifer Garner loves to post her photos from the past on Instagram. The actress likes to share various moments from her childhood to remind herself of her humble beginnings and give an opportunity to learn something new and express gratitude.

For example, Jennifer posted a school photo of herself when she was six years old. The Hollywood star joked that she took violin lessons for six years, but never learned it. She joked that her mother even offered to pay her to stop playing the violin.

However, Jennifer used this funny detail about herself to draw attention to the importance of education, especially for younger girls. Despite her unsuccessful attempt to learn the violin, Garner expressed gratitude for the opportunity to receive such an education. The actress grew up as the middle child in a family of two sisters who were closely related.
