The President Project

    A few years ago my social studies teacher decided to make all of the students do a project on their favorite president.  I decided to do one that barely anyone would do, Theodore Roosevelt.  Most people chose George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, and while I do respect them everyone chooses them as their favorite president.
   So, I researched.  I found out that what Theodore Roosevelt had done was amazing.  He caused the finishing of the Panama Canal, solved a dispute between two countries, set up most of our national parks, and curbed the power of big companies.
   What he did was so inspiring to me.  I love nature, and I understand the importance of preserving it, and I found out that he thought that as well.  The Panama Canal has helped with trading since he set it up.  Theodore always stood up for what he believed in, and I admire him for that.
