Reagan101(Introduction)

Hello My name is Ronald Reagan I am the 40th President of the United States of America I was born on Feb. 6, 1906 in tampico Illinois. My political party in the beginning was Democratic until 1962 and then I became a Republican. My Family consists of my mother and father John and Nelle Reagan and I had one older brother. I was taught how to read by my mother when i was only 5.I went to a highschool in Dixon and after I graduated, I went to Eureka college where I played football and made average grades. I graduated from eureka in 1932. At the end of college, my first job was as a radio announcer, then in 1937 I had a seven year contract with Warner Brothers as an actor in Hollywood. I was in about 50 movies. I was also the 33rd governer of California from 1967 through 1975. During World War Two I was called to Pearl Harbor as an Active Duty, which lead to me being in the First Motion Picture Unit for the Army Air Force. I knew I was going to be president when I was in for Republican Nomination in 1980. My Vice President was elected to be George H. W. Bush. Soon after I took office, an assasination was made on my life. I was shot at by 6 bullets, but only 1 of them hit me, which happened to cause a collapsed lung. Unfortionatly, the man who tried to kill me, was not pressed charges against by reason of insanity. So, instead of going to jail, he went to a mental institution.I retired after my second term in office due to my Alzheimer's Disease. I then died of Phneumonia on June 5, 2004.
