Dr. George Washington Carver was born in 1860 in Diamond, Missouri. When he was 30 he was accepted to Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa.

George Walker Bush, also known as junior, was an average student, a good baseball player and served as president of his fraternity during his time at Yale. He built a company when he was in his 30’s called the Bush Exploration and it thrived before going downhill and combining with Spectrum 7. He came out of his father’s shadow when he purchased the Texas Rangers and became the managing partner. Bush soon ran for governor of Texas and won; he was soon hailed as most popular big state governor. He launched his campaign for the 2000 presidential election and narrowly defeated Al Gore in an ordeal that required many recounts. He was a very popular leader in the beginning before problems arose. The attacks on September 11 combined with the…

During the time period of Robber Barons and monopolies, a brilliant inventor created many crucial inventions which most of us use every single day, including peanut butter, soap, and cosmetics as well as technological advances such as crop rotation used by farmers. George Washington Carver could have sought great fortune to his fame, but caring for neither, he found happiness, and honor in being helpful to the world. His numerous contributions to farming, education, and most famously his more than 300 peanut-based products he invented helped improve the quality of life for many people. Many Americans have not even noticed the incredible work of Carver, even though it deserved great attention. Carver’s importance impacted four major areas: being an environmental advocate, a focus on education, supporting the importance of farming,…
George Washington, a man of few yet insightful words, stepped into his presidency and defined the precedents for future presidents. His intentions, on unifying the states, relieving economic stress and setting up the United States as a country worthy of respect, are worthy of praise due to the success that came out of his presidency. The way he handled each aspect of his presidency set the precedent for the future. George Washington had a very intimidating but charismatic personality, that caused people to fear and respect him. This trait, whether acquired or just naturally a part of him, helped him lead with out question.…

This piece explored avenues related to personal preference and morality; it questioned what a good president meant in the 18th century. I also think this essay is a lot about his character and what made him different than other political powerheads. In the beginning he starts off by stating that even with the great president Washington was, he was voted third in favorite overall president; beaten out by Lincoln and FDR. Washington was known to be a great man focused on his behavior and prided himself on his conscious need to be a gentleman. “He lived his life by the book of gentility” not that of the military. This may be what people’s complaint of Washington was “he was a man of reason who resisted the passions most likely to afflict great men, that is, ambition and avarice.”…
