Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan was a president that no matter who you are or what political party you belong to he was revered. His way of using the power he obtained was unlike any other president past or present. He handled thing in a gentle way, but was also one that was not to be messed with. He was a man of many talents and gifts, but he could not have imagined that in his lifetime, he would change American politics and set a new precedent of how to run the United States.
Ronald Wilson Reagan was born in Tampico, Illinois on February 6, 1911. He was the son of Jack and Nelle Reagan and was the younger of two children. His father was a salesman and was always telling stories to Reagan and his older brother, Neil. He attended Dixon High School where he developed interests in acting and sports and also became a storyteller like his father. In 1928, Reagan enrolled in Eureka College where he majored in economics and sociology. Though he had a less than perfect G.P.A., he was known by many as a “jack of all trades,” excelling in campus politics, sports, and theater. He was a member of the football team, captain of the swim team, and was elected student body president. Though his grades were mediocre at best, he was a man who was loved and respected by every person he came in contact with. His friendly and out-going personality almost forced a person to respect him. He also had wonderful leadership skills and as student president, Reagan led a protest against the president of the college after he tried to cut back the faculty. He also worked as a lifeguard for seven years at Lowell Park near Dixon, Illinois. During this time, he was able to save 77 people from drowning.
After graduating college, Reagan was hired to be the announcer for many sports games, from hometown football games, to the professional Chicago Cubs baseball games. In 1937, he signed a seven-year contract with Warner Brothers studios. Reagan appeared in about 53 films from 1937 to 1964.
