The museum that I chose to go to during my spring break was the American Museum of Natural History. It was very difficult at first to find a museum which relates to my community since my community is mainly political-oriented (Republican Community in Bayside), while most museums are either art/culturally oriented. The American Museum of Natural History was the closest museum that related to my community because of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial. Theodore Roosevelt was the 26th president of the United States. He was one of the most profound presidents in the history of our nation, and he is one of the four presidents that have a sculpture on Mount Rushmore.
Conclusion He was a grass root leader, a self made man with meager education and moderate family background, rises to become the president of one of the largest nations of the world. His presidency did the ground work to make America one of the greatest nations on this planet. He will always be remembered as the president who ended slavery in United States and laid the foundation of a multi-cultural pluralistic society we are so proud of today.

They would help me get elected, but then they would control how I was supposed to govern. This gave me experience in political tactics. One of the jobs I enjoyed the most was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and somehow I managed to not witness a single union strike during my seven year plus years in the Navy department.
