George Lucas

George Lucas is the creator of Star Wars. George has inspired me, other kids, and even adults with his brave behavior. George took risks that I want to take. George did amazing things in his life. He changed everyone's lives on May 25, 1977. On that day, everyone crowded around the theater and their lives were changed by his amazing work.

George Lucas had many life lessons in his childhood. George was born on May 14th, 1944. When George was a kid, he had terrible grades. His high grades were Ds, and sometimes Cs. When it came to his life at home, his parents weren't so happy. George's father wanted him to take over the family company when he was older, L. M. Morris, while his mother was worried about his grades for college. Years later, George wanted to be like other high school teens, so he started race car driving and hanging with girls. When he got into a huge car crash, he knew he was headed in the wrong direction. George was in a convertible, so when he crashed into someone, the car flipped about four or five times and the car brought him to a crash out through the roof. After he got out of the hospital, George decided to do something logical with his life. He noticed that with his D average, he might not even be able to go to college. When he was a kid he thought school was a waste of his time, so when he found out that he could choose if he wanted to go to college, he was fine with not going. In fact, he was happy. He stuck with that until that crash. George was ready to go from Ds, to As! George went to the University of South Carolina (USC), where he started making films. His teachers were proud of his constant As, and didn't think it was possible that he had low grades in grade school. George was their best student. In 1971, George's first full length movie came out, THX: 1138. People were amazed at his moviemaking ability for a college student. Then he graduated from USC in 1973. As you can see, George had many life lessons in his childhood.

Even though George didn't have much money, he was ready to take those obstacles, and turn them into something worth waiting for.

George wasn't happy, but the name seemed to work out well. Now you can see that George Lucas had many obstacles in his life.

An important lesson someone else or I might learn from George Lucas' life is something that I struggle with. The lesson is that it doesn't matter what other people think of you, that doesn't make it true. George didn't let other people talk him out of what he believed in. That, I think, is one important lesson.

As you can see, George Lucas has a very interesting life.
