Historical Reflections
I am very nervous to go into college, but if I have the chance of choosing a historical figure to be my roommate it will definitely be Franklin D Roosevelt. I want to major in sociology and political sciences and I think FDR can give me valuable advice. It will be such a relief to have him as a friend, I can always ask him for help and his answer are going to be the best. I have many questions about how the political world works and it would be very interesting to see what he responds. I also want to know what are his view on immigration, does he agree with 1070, what should be done to stop illegal immigration.

I admire how FDR acted with the new deal to get the United States out of the great depression. Our world is currently suffering a recession and it would be interesting to see what is going on in FDR’s mind today and the solutions he is thinking of. If he becomes president I would ask him to not forget about Latin America and to legalize weed like he did with prohibition. He would probably agree because he did it before and legalizing weed will reduce the high crime rates in lain America especially México. In conclusion we need FDR as president again he has been the most productive and well respective president I have heard about. But before he becomes president and saves the world he needs to be my roommate!

One day I would love to open up and orphanage/organization where we offer education to homeless children. I believe like FDR that “Peace, like charity, begins at home.” So if these children are not given love and home what is going to become of them? I know that FDR is the perfect person to ask him for advice in how to start this organization because he believes “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” and this is exactly my goal with giving children better opportunities I want them to have a better future.


If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
