TR was a great inspiration for others. He was sick as a child, but that didn't stop him from doing what he wanted or making excuses. He took up boxing to make himself stronger, fought in the Mexican American war, hunted, fished, hiked, created the National Parks service, was the first environmentalist, saved animals ( the Roosevelt elk of the Olympic rainforest) , and went to places like Yosemite to promote protection of Natural Resources and forests. While president he worked to protect workers and to breakup monopolies. Got laws passed that were still in effect until recent changes to them by congress. In his personal life he was the father of 6 children and had his wife and mother die on the same day. This hit him hard, but he always showed a spirit that said to others that people can overcome adversity and problems.
