10 Things I Learned About FDR at the Little White House
Last friday, my class visited Little White house where FDR was founded in the 1900's in his warm springs. He was the first to ever create a treatment center for polio. Because of FDR's legs, it was hard to get from place to place. He decided to create levers on his car. one for gears, one for the gas pedal, and of course one for the brake. No legs were involved. Did you know his car was made by personal my favorite car brand "Ford"? FDR was a very good man and accomplished many things. He was our president for 12 years and gov of NY once. He helped millions struggle through not just polio, but also The Great Depression. He created a program called The New Deal. I thought that the polio pools in Warm Springs were very cool. Well I wouldn't say cool, more like warm and cozy. The water was about 80 degrees! I never realized how soothing and warm the water was. I really enjoyed this trip because of the amazement of how much history was inside Little White House.
