Woodrow Wilson


The name of the person I read about is Woodrow Wilson,but when he was young
people called him Tommy.When Tommy was only a year old his father
[Dr.Wilson]moved his family and him from Virginia to Augusta,Georgia.He moved in
1857.Tommy's father became pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in
Augusta,Georgia.
Woodrow came from a strict,caring household.Dr.Wilson liked to take Woodrow
places like cotton mills,iron and steel foundries,and other local industries.He
did that to teach Woodrow the manufacturing processes.Dr.Wilson also taught
Woodrow respect for other people.His mother[Jessie Wilson] was shy and
reserved,but looked and acted like Woodrow. Woodrow's
life was different from mine by the way he went to school.His father taught him
till he was nine,and then he went to school. Woodrow spent some of his spare
time with his gang, called the Lightfoot Club.Also when Woodrow was fourteen,his
education was continued at a private school with fifty boys enrolled that cost
seven dollars an hour.
One of the parts of the book that I liked was when Woodrow Wilson won the
Presidency.One of the things that helped him win was when he made two
alliances.One alliance was made with Colonel Edward M. House.The other was made
with William McCombs.
Both of these alliances profound effect on his future.
A sad incident that happened in this story was when Woodrow suffered his
paralytic stroke.Rumors spread that Woodrow was incapable of handling even the
smallest duties.Wilson kept succeeding though.
There was still many people that believed in him.
If I could choose one thing that Wilson did that I could do it would be a
lawyer.First of all most lawyers make a good living.Another thing is that people
depend on you.Finally it would be challenging for me.
The main thing that Wilson is remembered for is being President.He really
put a lot of effort into being President.He worked hard,he acted in control,and
he acted mature about the situations he was in.The main thing is that he
succeeded with what he was doing.
Wilson was different in ways.He was business-like in some ways,and more
regular in other ways.An example of when he was business-like was when he is in
office at his job.An example of when he was more regular is when he was at
home.Wilson was always smart no matter what situation he was in.Wilson was also
a caring and honest person about his family and his country and also he was not
selfish at all.
