Overcame a Hardship/Challenge
I read that he overcame a
challenge when his father died
when he was 11 years old.
About 4 years later, his brother
died. I think that was very hard
because he had no family left.
He had to work harder.

PerseveredI read that he persevered
by attacking the British so
many times until he won
the war. The war lasted
from 1775 -1781 the
reason why attacked a lot
is because he didn't want
to pay tax for no reason.I think it is more than
anything I will do in my
life.

Impact: How Things are Different Today
George Washington
became president in 1789
because he wanted to
protect the American
colonies from the English.
Today we are independent. I think it was important
because if it hadn't beenfor him we might still be
ruled by the English.

Demonstrated Bravery
I read that he demonstrated
bravery became the first
president in1787.I think that was brave because
he could be shy and ask
someone else to be president
and it is hard to have the whole
United Sates in your hands.

Communicated and Shared
I read that he
communicated by gathering
troops and overthrowing
the British. The colonists
did not want to pay tax's
for no reason to the British
king because he took most
of there money and there
resources.I think he communicated
because he got troops and
fought for freedom.
