Recently, I went to the George W. Bush Presidential Library in Dallas, TX. I learned that, for only the second time in our history, a father and son became president. The first time was John Adams and John Quincy Adams. Then the second time was George H W Bush and George W. Bush. George W Bush was president during the 9/11 attack on the two twin towers in New York City. In that attack on the World Trade Center, two planes crashed into the towers. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon. A fourth plane crashed into a field in Philadelphia.
George W. was also president during Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. In the museum, we got to do an exercise where we got information about the disaster. We got to then decide whether to send in troops to help.
George W. also had two dogs and two daughters. One of my favorite parts was that he met the Queen of England for a dinner party. It looked very fancy.
Lastly, I learned that George W. signed the No Child Left Behind Act. This was a program about Education and did not turn out the way he wanted it to.
Overall, i think he was a respectable president.
