Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR)


Roosevelt's Childhood-  Franklin Delano Roosevelt was born on January 30, 1882 in the city of Hudson Valley, Hyde Park, New York. Roosevelt's father was 54 at the time of his birth. His father's name is James Roosevelt and mother's name was Sara Ann Delano Roosevelt, who had a very positive influence and great in your child. Sara Roosevelt was James Roosevelt was French and Dutch. Franklin's parents took them to different places in Europe which opened his vision of many things in the external world. During the first eight years of life of Roosevelt, was educated by private tutors. At the age of nine Roosevelt attended his first school in Bad Nauheim. Since Roosevelt was a kid was a quick and outgoing person who seemed to enjoy the company of others. A Roosevelt teacher said he was a "bright young man", which can also make friends in an instant. When Roosevelt was fourteen, he and one of his tutors was on tour in Germany while riding a bicycle. He and his tutor were arrested several times for traffic violations small, but Roosevelt always talk his way out of a ticket every time.

That fall, Roosevelt was sent to Groton (Groton is one of the most exclusive schools of America). In this school, Roosevelt had to pay five hundred dollars a year. A family lived intermediate in time two hundred seventy dollars. This shows that the school paid almost twice what a family can afford intermediate in a year. As Roosevelt's mother, all employees of the school made sure that Roosevelt was not a spoiled child. "Do not be spoiled" is rule number one school. The director said that Franklin is beyond normal intelligence, but not great. Roosevelt was fourth smartest guy in the class of nineteen students. Franklin was what was considered popular in school at the time. Popularity meant he has many friends and is well liked by most students and teachers.

FDR's Education-Like I said before, Roosevelt was taught by tutors until he was eight and attended his first school in 1896 at age nine at Bad Nauheim. After Roosevelt attended Harvard after graduating from Groton in 1900. In his second year at Harvard (1901), his fifth cousin Theodore Roosevelt (who also called "Teddy" Roosevelt) became the 26th president in the United States and is also the youngest president ever elected as president in U.S. . During his time at Harvard, Roosevelt discovered he had an obsession with the law which then went to study the laws of the United States in the city of New York at Columbia Law School. In Roosevelt's first year in law school scored multiples of B and C, and only a single D. Roosevelt has these grades mostly because he spent more time socializing and did very little work.

Roosevelt also began to spend money freely. Franklin could do all this now because it is away from his mother and not following school rules Groton. One of his teachers also commented that Franklin was "A little aptitude for the law," that means it's a bit talented in the law. However, the two other years he was at Columbia Law School, Roosevelt had the greatest degree imaginable and actually passed the highest point I could get as a grade in school. So as soon as possible, Roosevelt left school in 1907 and did not graduate because he wanted to be a lawyer at once and not even think twice about returning to law school. Then, a year later, Roosevelt approved the bar exam in the state of New York that led him to get a job with a prestigious Wall Street firm named Carter, Ledyard and Milburn. Roosevelt was hired to deal mainly with corporate law, this means that the work of Roosevelt was all he had to do with the business of law. So if Roosevelt went to school from 1896-1907 that means that formal education was only eleven. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had a total duration of four years in Groton (1896-1900), four years at Harvard University (1900-1904) and three years at Columbia Law School (1904-1907).

An important event in life that impact who was Franklin Delano Roosevelt-The most important event in the life of Roosevelt was in 1921, when Franklin was only thirty-nine years old, he developed a paralytic disease when caught a fever after deeply exercise that summer in Canada. Roosevelt first fell by chance on a cold bay. Then he ran around the entire island of Campobello and swam for a while in Lake Glen Severn. When Roosevelt arrived home, immediately complained of back pain and was cold during the night. The next day, one of his legs felt weak and that afternoon, I had a weak leg was paralyzed. Then the other leg began to feel weak. That evening also paralyzed. Now Roosevelt is disabled to walk or stand. His bladder was also paralyzed. Roosevelt could not evacuate for more than two weeks. Then two weeks later Roosevelt developed polio. Polio has a one percent chance of getting into your nervous system and paralyze human. Although this percentage is too small, even Roosevelt developed paralysis from the chest down.

Franklin wanted to hide his paralysis from the public when he was president because he did not want people to think differently of him, so that most of the photos I took looked like he was not paralyzed. As these;

Moreover, Roosevelt has only two pictures taken in his wheelchair. However, we do not know if there are even more that have not been disclosed publicly.

How Roosevelt connects to our history-Franklin Delano Roosevelt was president during World War II. He took us through WWII successfully. Roosevelt also helped reduce the impact of the Great Depression to the people of the United States. In the beginning of the Great Depression, Franklin Roosevelt was president, was Herbert Hoover. Herbert Hoover tried to help with the Great Depression, but the unemployment rate was still an unemployment rate that was too big, come-and-five percent. When Roosevelt became president, he immediately agreed to cut the unemployment rate down to fourteen percent. But Franklin's greatest success was in 1943 when the Great Depression to help, was in the middle of World War II, and even when at war, Roosevelt was able to lower the unemployment rate to two percent. Some people said that the Great Depression ended because at that time, the U.S. need many troops for war. So if many people are drawn to the army, anyone has the opportunity to take the work one of the American soldiers had before being welded. Moreover, because the government is spending more money now, there are more job opportunities growing to try to get the U.S. economy at a normal rate.

President Roosevelt was so good, that the people of the United States four times elected him as president. Roosevelt completed a total of twelve years in office the presidential office.
     
Unfortunately, on April 12, 1945 during the fourth term of office, Roosevelt died of a stroke at age 63. Until today, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt is still remembered for his great deeds and still be remembered for decades to come.
