Today during class, we started going over the interesting facts about the leaders of the world. I learned some interesting things. For example, I learned that Dilma Rousself, President of Brazil, went to jail for 2 years and was tortured because she tired to coup d'etat meaning that she tired to take over the country by using the military but it didn't work. After she got out of jail, she still wanted to rule Brazil and she is now the President of Brazil. We also learned that Hamid Karzai is a potential victim for assassination. One more interesting thing we learned was that Hu Jintao, President of China, took China from a country that had many problems and made it a pretty well developed country. Today we also were told that Barack Obama won our election. Some interesting things about him are:
- Barack Obama is the first African American to ever be President. This will be Obama's second term as President of the United States.
- He is the first President ever to be born in Hawaii.
- Before becoming President, Obama was Senator of Illinois in 1996
- Obama went to Hartford Law School.
- he did many things for the community before he started his career in polotics
- earned his way through college by getting scholar ships and earning money
There are many more interesting things about Obama but those are just some.
