IntroductionFamous Quotation: It is better to be alone than in bad company.

Best known for: being the first

president.

3 Key Qualities:1. Took action2. Bravery3. Overcame a hardship

What I find interesting: he was

always calm in bad situations.

I chose this person because he

formed our country.


3/15

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.


4/15

Showed Compassion and Empathy

I read that he showed empathy for his troopsbecause he tried to make

sure they were all safe Forexample if there was a safer

route he would take it so

less lives were lost.I think it was nice he made

sure they didn't get hurt the

best he could.


5/15

Took Action

I read that in 1783, hetook action by leadingthe Revolutionary War,

which was when

America overthrew the

British.I think that was a way of taking action becausehe marched andmarched and did his

job.


6/15

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.


8/15

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.


9/15

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.
