About Me
Paragraph 1

I was born in Virginia, on February 22, 1732. Later after I was born, when I was about six years old my family and I moved to a ferry farm where I spent most of my childhood. When I was 11 years old my father died, he gave me most of his things and I inherited ten slaves from him. When he died I stopped going to school also. Later when I was seventeen years old I got elected to be the county surveyor of the frontier county of Culpeper. When I was about 20 years old I traveled to Barbados with Lawrence my half-brother to try to cure diseases and I got sick on my way there and which is very unfortunate because that was the first time that I traveled out of the North American continent.

Paragraph 2

Later in 1753 I got sent to tell the French to leave the area by Robert Dwindle. So I sent 150 soldiers including me to fight for the land. After a small group fought with my team we had to surrender. This embarrassed my team and I, also this started the French and Indian war. About two or three years later I returned to Ohio and fought with my team against the French and British, and I don’t mean to brag but I was the best one out there. After that they gave me a promotion and I got to lead the whole Virginia army. The most special day of my life was the day that I married Martha Dandridge Custis, but now Martha Washington. My wife was a widow and she had a lot of money from her past husband. After I settled down with my wife, we expanded our home and I started to farm.

Paragraph 3

In 1775 A new Congress made me the commander of of the Continental Army. I had this job for a total of eight years. After the American Revolution on December 23 I resigned my job being the commander of the Continental Army. Once I did this I was considered a hero around the world, because I gave my power to the people around the world. In 1787 I really wanted to retire, but I was elected to be president of the Constitutional Convention. Then my luck continued and I was elected the first president of the United States of America, it was very random and unexpected to me. About two years later I started to work on my second term. A few years after that they wanted me to do a third term, but I refused to do that. After I refused that I retired my public life, and I went to Mount Vernon to retire and I enjoyed it there. Sadly in 1799 I passed away, All my friends and my beautiful wife Martha surrounded me. In 1775 A new Congress made me the commander of of the Continental Army.
