   It was said that George Washington was very
    athletic he was very fast and he was the first
    person to throw a rock across the Potomac
    River. He even began to become a soldier in
    his childhood. He was taught by his half-
    brother.

   George Washington was very punctual. When
    company was invited to dinner he made an
    allowance of a difference of only 5 minutes on a
    watch. If the guests came late he would say we
    are too punctual for you. I have a cook who
    does not ask if the company has come but if the
    hour has come.

   George Washington was not very successful in
    leading his first battles. In his first battle him
    and his men were ambushed and forced to
    surrender Fort Necessity on the Pennsylvania
    frontier.

   George Washington was nicknamed “Father of
    his Country” because he was the first president
    of the United States of America. He was one of
    the Founding Fathers of America.

   The founders of America all viewed George
    Washington as a man of integrity. He fought
    hard with valiant effort. He earned everything
    that he fought for and he was willing to die for
    his belief of freedom.
   George Washington never really talked about
    his beliefs in great detail but he had many
    famous quotes that were very Christ-like such
    as “ It is impossible to rightly govern a nation
    without God and the Bible.”
