Hello, I will be presenting a report on Ronald Reagan. He was born February 6, 1911 in Tampco, Illinois. He had a Tom Sawyer boyhood. He was a very unhappy child. Ronald Reagan loved reading, playing football, and baseball. He didn’t have very good eyesight. At baseball games he would bat, and he always couldn’t see the ball until it was about 2 feet away from him! He was just 12. In 1932 he graduated from Eureka College, It was the year of 1932. On January 26, he married Jane Wyman; she was his first wife. In 1942 he served in the U.S Army Airforce. He quit in 1945. After he served in the U.S Army Airforce, he married Nancy Davis. They had a big wedding. I bet you don’t believe he was elected governor of California. It was the year of 1966. Four years after that in 1980, he was elected president of the United States! He got the most electoral votes in U.S. history! Isn’t that amazing? Then in 1984 he was reelected president of the United States!

I bet you don’t believe that he saved 77 people in 7 summers as a lifeguard! The other thing he did was make America a better place.

Did you know that he was the 40th president of the United States, he was reelected twice for being president and being governor of California. Did you know he was known for how well he played football?
