George+washington

George Washington and I are very similar people who also have our differences. One thing that we have in common with each other is that we both are good leaders. Another thing that we have in common is that we both lived in the eastern part of the United States. We may have our similarities but we do also have our differences. One thing that I found that was different is that George Washington only attended school for about 7 or maybe 8 years and that’s shorter than I’ve been in school. George and I are both similar and different people. A similarity that both George Washington and I share is that we are both good leaders. George was said to be a natural born leader. With only a seventh grade education he turned out to be the first president of the United States. He was a good leader through the American Revolution and that’s what lead people to like him and elect him into office as a president. I am also a good leader and I enjoy leading people weather it is on a sports team or in an activity in school. I think that this is a big similarity because leadership is something important and it gets people very far in life. George Washington may not have been the smartest person but he had very good leadership skills and that’s what got him into office as the first president. Although George and I share leader ship another thing that we share is that we live in the same eastern part of the United States. Me and George Washington both lived in the same general part of the United States and I think that is another thing that makes us similar people. George Washington was born in Westmount County, Virginia and that’s where he lived for most of his life. I was born in Massachusetts and I’ve lived there for all my life. Both of these places are on the east coast and they where both part of the thirteen colonies. This meant that they were both involved in the American Revolution. And George most likely traveled to Massachusetts many times during the revolution because a lot of important events happened there like the Boston massacre and the Boston tea party. George and I both have our similarities but we do also have our differences. One difference between me and George Washington is that he had less of an education than I do. Washington only attended his local school house for seven years until he dropped out to become an apprentice surveyor and then to become a regular surveyor. I have been in school since I was about four so I have been in school for ten years now plush I intend to go to high school and college. This is something that is basically needed in the world today. In general Washington and I both have more similarities than differences. In conclusion, me and George Washington are very similar people with some differences. One thing that we had in common is that we are both good leaders. Another thing that we have in common is that we both lived and grew up in the eastern part of the United States. We do also have differences besides our similarities. George Washington only attended school for about 7 or 8 years and I’m in 8th grade now. George and I are both very similar and different people.
