reflection

I learned a lot about Thomas Jefferson in this project. His accomplishment, life, interest, and more. I'm glad that I picked Thomas Jefferson as my ''president project''. Thomas Jefferson is really different from me. He likes to read and study more about political, but I am totally opposite, I like to play instead of studying and I like to be lazy just most of the kids. Learning about Thomas Jefferson kind of make me want to get busy with my works and stuff. It's really cool to know that he wrote the declaration of Independence, and he is also against slavery. I think Thomas Jefferson is the greatest president! If he is still alive today, then I'll ask him for his signature!
