When reading President Coolidge’s autobiography‚ I was fascinated by his constant calmness and his love of learning. He kept a level head even in stressful situations‚ he didn’t strive for glory‚ and the people he was closest to developed him into the great man he was.

I believe President Coolidge was this person
