__**Theodore Roosevelt - 26th President of the United States**__

Theodore Roosevelt’s legacy is unknown to many people. Throughout his presidency, he turned the capital of the United States of America into his own personal zoo by owning all kinds of exotic animals and some not like his dogs. Even though he had a lot on his plate, he still made time to bond with his beloved children and wife, Theodore Roosevelt's life was a very remarkable on because of all the stupendous things he has accomplished in his life and that is why his legacy should be remembered forever.

In the year of 1858 Theodore Roosevelt was born in Oyster Bay New York October 27th, and he died January 6th 1919. Theodore Roosevelt’s home was in Sycamore Hill during his presidency with his bunch of precious children and grandchildren which are named Theodore Roosevelt Jr. ,Alice,Ethel,Kermit and his two grandchildren who are named Quentin and his brother Archie,even though Theodore Roosevelt has a pretty big family he still finds time to have fun by spending time doing things he loves like hobbies.Even though he has a bunch of hobbies two stand out to him that he loves to do which are boxing and hunting.Once while Theodore Roosevelt was on a hunting trip with his group of Rough Riders a black bear came upon him and all the Rough Riders said to shoot the bear, but he said no because it was only a baby black bear so it deserved to live .somehow this story got out and a toy maker heard the story and asked Roosevelt if he could make a children’s toy stuffed bear and name it after him and that’s how we got the teddy bear.

in the start of Theodore Roosevelt’s education he was mostly home schooled by Tudors and parents and while being home schooled he was over achieving geography,biology,science ,french and German because of all his traveling but he was deficient in most other subjects like Mathematics and Latin and Greek .in the year 1876 Theodore Roosevelt started going to Harvard university and he did very well in geography,biology,science,french,German and all kinds of other subject except he was still doing very poorly in subjects like Latin and German and Latin and also Mathmatics Theodore Roosevelt also went to Columbia law school in new york and got his law degree after only spending to years at Columbia law school.

some of the major contributions that teddy Roosevelt made in office are pretty impressive like the time he stopped the major coal strike because the coal workers stopped working and that would stop power to a bunch of major cities when president Roosevelt got word of this tragedy he jumped right in because it made him sick that they would do such a thing,president Roosevelt asked congress to help him pass important laws like the Elkins act and The Hepburn act which helped business ship products so store and other company's can sell them to their consumers or customers while Roosevelt was in office he also passed the foreign policy which allowed trading world wide and allowed us to set up military bases up in the Panama Canal.

**.** There are a lot of interesting facts ,quotes and myths but some are more interesting than others. **.** Roosevelt wrote more than 25 books and these include THE JUNGLE and MORNING’S on HORSEBACK .while giving a speech once a crazed man thought it would be cool to attempt an assassination on president Roosevelt .Roosevelt said it will take more than a shot to kill a bull moose and then he finished his speech. **.** believe you can and you are half way their **.** the only man who never makes mistakes is the man who never does anything. <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**.** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">when you play,play hard,when you work ,don't play at all <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">**.** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Maxwell coffee asked Roosevelt what he thought about their coffee and he said its good till the last drop .some similarities between Roosevelt and i are that we both love to be outside and we both love animals .some difference's between Roosevelt and is that i don like to hunt because i wont kill animals and i don't have Asama .the president inspired me in an area is to don't let people give up at all

CONCLUSION over all Theodore Roosevelt has had a pretty intresting life like being shot an not dying and having the chance to be president of the United states and owning a bunch of exotic animals and stoping a major coal strike so all in all he was an amazing president.
