President Abraham Lincoln is my favorite president, because he did many great things. One of the favorite things I learned about him was how honest he was. My dad says, “Mean what you say and say what you mean.” This reminds me of Lincoln.

President Lincoln didn’t have a great education, but he was able to become a lawyer, Illinois State Legislator and a United States House Representative. He was an example of being able to do great things with hard work. Most kids can’t even do those things nowadays.

In 1860, he was elected to be our president. He led our country through a very difficult time, the Civil War.
Lincoln fought to stop slavery.

I like that he fought to abolish slavery and fought to save the rights of people. That means so much to me because then little boys and girls don’t have to be sold to an owner while their parents are somewhere else.

there are two central themes in the miracle worker: that the human spirit can triumph over even the most daunting of disabilities and that a dedicated teacher can transform the lives of those with whom he or she comes into contact. these inspirational themes have long been personified in the widely known true-life relationship between helen keller and annie sullivan, but the miracle worker also dramatizes collateral issues that extend beyond the particular case. underlying helen’s process of learning basic principles of what annie terms “obedience” (decorum, etiquette, and hygiene), there are more universal lessons of self-governance—the inculcation of self-restraint instead of willfulness, the development of self-discipline instead of self-indulgence. only when these lessons have been mastered can helen begin to acquire language—which, annie says, “is to the mind more than light is to the eye.”
