Historical Reflection

If I were to meet anyone in college that we have learned about in class, I would definitely choose to meet President Ronald Reagan. I think that I would want to have him as a professor and have him for at least one lecture. I’ve always been inspired by Ronald Reagan. I remember doing a project on him when I was as young as 3rd grade. I think I would want to hear about his ideas of stimulating the economy. I would want to hear about how he used tax cuts to help reduce government spending and helping the economy. I admire that Reagan made a friendship between the dictator Gorbachev and persuaded him into changing to a diplomatic government, further ending in the breaking down of the Berlin Wall. I would choose to meet Ronald Reagan because I think that he was one of the best presidents in the United States and in my eyes he was the reason for the end of the Cold War. "General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" “I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s no purpose and worth to each and every life.” “There are no great limits to growth because there are no limits of human intelligence, imagination, and wonder.” “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”
