I believe that great leaders make history because a person that takes charge and does something so memorable, can change history. For example, George Washington. He lead his troops to an impossible victory. When Washington crossed the Delaware River and defeated the Hessians, many people were surprised. Almost everybody thought it was the impossible, but Washington thought otherwise. If he failed to cross the river and didn’t conquer the Hessians, it wouldn’t be such great and memorable history. Since he was a great leader and was successful with such a difficult journey, he made great history. History didn’t make him.

This project taught me that if I find something interesting about a topic, it will stick with me for a very long time. If I am doing a project in another subject and I am having a hard time remembering something, I can try to connect it to something original so it is easier to remember and understand. I think that you should continue to do this project in the future years. It’s a project like no other.

When I first entered kindergarten, everything was just perfect. I was healthy and had friends. As the days went on, my parents noticed something wasn’t right. When I was taken to the doctors, we found out that I had a tumor in my jaw. The word had  spread and when we contacted my church and told them the news. When my pre-school teacher found out, she wanted to give me something special. (I should probably tell you that I went to pre-school at my church.) A couple days before my surgery, she gave me something that changed my life. She handed me a white teddy bear and a little, metal moose. She told me that this moose would bring me good luck when I go into surgery. Plus it was easy for me to carry around. So within the second week of kindergarten, my parents took me and my lucky moose to the hospital and it was go time. Right before I went into surgery, I touched my lucky moose and everything turned out okay. Since then I have brought my lucky moose with me to all 7 of my surgeries for comfort.

Here is a picture of my lucky moose compared to a nickel.

What would happen if I won a billion dollars?

Now, many people would ask the same question and most adults would think that kids would use it to buy toys for themselves. Well, I’m not the average kid. I am not a greedy kid. I don’t even know what I would want to get myself that is so expensive. Here is what I would do to change the world.

I would donate to third wold countries that aren’t as lucky as we are. They don’t have medical supplies like we do. Many people die of  different kinds of illnesses. It breaks my heart to here about all of the babies that die every year because of hunger or because their family doesn’t have money to support them. I would make sure that I give before I take. Also, I would give money to children’s hospitals. I know what it’s like to spend a long period of time in the hospital so I would make sue that I make kids happy. I hope this would make a little difference in the world.
