Winston Churchill: The Hero of England
Winston Churchill was a very well-spoken/eloquent man. He did many things in his life, some good, some bad. Overall, he never saw the bad side of things, he always kept positive. As a young child, he really wasn't connected to his parents. He was basically raised by his nanny, Elizabeth Everest. When Churchill was 8, he was sent off to boarding school then off to military Harrow school. He learned a lot there and graduated almost at the top of his class. He went to the Royal Military College, which he graduated near the top of his class again. After college, he was given a commission as a Calvary officer. When Churchill got into the army, he always wanted to see action. Every leave he got, he traveled off to some fighting area or war zone to see the battles and help. He had contracts with several newspapers to write about what he had seen when he was there. That is what kicked off his great writing career. When he came back to London, he was a famous writer and a war hero. After the war, Churchill realized he didn't want to just follow laws, he wanted to help make them better. So he ran for a seat in parliament. He was successful and he did very well at it. Churchill was soon moving through the ranks of government, until he was removed from government because he overstepped his position. This is how it went basically for the rest of his political life. He was promoted and kicked out several times. He even became Prime Minister twice. After leading Britain in World War II, he resigned, and painted and wrote novels up until his death. He died on January 24, 1965 at the age of 90. And that's the legacy of Sir Winston Churchill.
