The story of Lincoln’s struggle
In 1809 AD, on a desolate farm in Kentucky, a man named
Abraham Lincoln
's baby, he was the future 16th President of the United States.
Lincoln only started to recognize letters when he was fifteen years old, and he walked four times every morning and evening. He went to school on the forest path of Miles. He couldn't afford an arithmetic book, so he borrowed it from others, copied it out with letter-sized pieces of paper, and sewed them together with twine to make a self-made arithmetic book. He studied in school, and the knowledge he received was "learned bit by bit." The total number of formal education he received was only about twelve months. Lincoln was able to study hard in very difficult circumstances. Surrendering to fate is also what we should learn from Lincoln.
Lincoln also took his books with him when he went to work in the fields, and read when he had time at lunch. After being nominated as a presidential candidate, he once said: "I can achieve this small result entirely because of the knowledge I acquired from time to time in response to various needs in the future." Lincoln grew up as a poor child. The journey of a politician who led the United States deeply moved me. The key to his success lies in working hard, working tirelessly, and meeting the challenges of life. Lincoln did it and succeeded.
