George Washington is a great man for a lot of reasons. One reason is, during the war, he knew ho to lead people. This is one Key of Liberty story: When the British were coming, and the soldiers were getting scared, Washington pulled out 2 pistols and said that if anyone ran, he will shoot at them.
Not really a good way to get people to follow you, but the soldiers got braver and fought.
Another reason is that he didn't want to be king, and he became out first president. People looked up to him. When he turned down a third term, King George was surprised, but admired him in that way.
That list could go on and on, but I'll do one more.George Washington was smart. People came to ask advice from him. He was smart when he surprised the Hessians by crossing the Delaware River on Christmas. He was smart during the presidency. He chose the spot for Washington D. C.
There are lots of of reasons, but George Washington was a good man. I could be more like him by following his example. That is it. Following his example.
