我崇拜的人(A Person I Admire)

times need heroes, and heroes stand out. franklin roose velt

is just a hero of the times. well known for his unprecedented 13

years as the president of u. s. , he is regarded as a savior of

america. however, it is not his brilliant achievements that attract

me. what i really admire are some qualities shining in his whole

life such as fortitude, courage and also his amiability.

his early time, i mean before his forties, was smooth. he was

born rich and had a happy marriage. after graduating from

harvard, he served in the navy. at that time, he had already shown

his remarkable leadership and since his uncle was a president, he

would surely enter the political arena. but everything changed

when he was 39. healthy and strong as he was, he was attacked

by polio after swimming, which caused the life long de formity in

his legs. it was extremely hard for this ambitious man to face the

misfortune. he was, of course, in a bad mood and wanted to give

up all his dreams at first. then, after careful thinking, he finally

decided to bestir himself. he was not a man easy to surrender.

again he took part in political activities and,at the same time,

practiced standing up and then walking with a stick. eventually

this brave man won the battle against fate. he became the only

disabled president in american history and unprecedentedly

served four terms. all should be attributed to his fortitude.

"the only thing we fear is fear itself." this famous saying now

has spread all over the world and encouraged lots of

elt first said it, and as a great leader, he made all

his people believe it. he practiced what he preached for he was

surely a courageous person challenging the tradition. he

formulated new policies to help his nation out of the depression.

he declared war against fascists though most of the congressmen

opposed him at that time. all proved that he was right for his

courage was not rash but based on careful thinking. "a leader is

one who dares to dream, and then, dares to achieve."

he was great, but not great in appearance. he looked like a

kind grandpa at the first sight. he initiated the fireside chat to

express his ideas and explain his policies in a relaxed atmosphere

on radio. he always smiled sincerely when speaking and listening.

these didn't lower his prestige but made him amiable and

welcome.

he is surely not a perfect man no one can be

age has its hero in the forefront, just like franklin roosevelt a man

i admire.
