George Pocock Accomplishments

In the beginning when there was only but a mere 13 colonies, we couldn’t agree on anything. But despite all odds, we fought the most powerful country and developed into a strong nation, known today as The United States of America. It truly couldn’t have been done without 3 first presidents who laid the ground work for our new nation. Those three presidents and there three administrations included the Washington Administrations, Adams Administration, and Jefferson Administration. Though those three were of equal importance, one that stood out among them was the Washington’s Administration, and here was its significance to our nation.

First, George’s attentiveness is what led him to be successful since his surroundings influenced him in a positive way. For example on page 11, he says, “I wasn’t any smarter or more special than the guys around me. For some reason, throughout my life I was blessed with people who told me positive things, and I believed in them. I believed my third-grade teacher when she told me that I could go to college and have a great career someday if I just stayed out of trouble.” This shows us that George

Everybody is talkin' these days about Tammany men growin' rich on graft, but nobody thinks of drawin' the distinction between honest graft and dishonest graft." With this sentence in the first chapter Plunkitt sets the tone for his short treatise on New York City politics while Tammany Hall ran the show. George Washington Plunkitt was a senator in New York during the turn of the 19th Century to the 20th Century.

What I seek to gain from George Mason is the ability to forge my own path. To gain invaluable knowledge that will allow me to seek complete independence from my parents. The goal does not end with supporting just myself but my family, as well. I look to George Mason for its dedication to freedom, speech, and the Constitution. My parents have been nothing but the epitome of chains that bind a slave from becoming more when it comes to my social life. I look in hopes of growing not only academically, but socially in order to obtain balance. While the masses look to conform to trends and media, I look to George Mason to expose me to a diverse array of people and opinions to help shape my own.

As a young boy, George Washington grew up in a small town in Pope’s Creek, Virginia.    He came from this small town in hopes of achieving great things, like becoming the first president of the United States.  He faced many failures, but by overcoming them, he made many great achievements.  Although, he faced hardship and failures, he did not let those get in the way of his goals.  He became one of the greatest presidents of the United States of America.

Lastly, the most important thing in George’s life is the beauty of music. He has a nightmare in the middle of the night, about what could have happened to the music room, “The monster clawed to shreds the heads of the biggest drum in the state. Helmholtz woke up howling”. He headed to the school, there he reflected on the beauty of his instruments, “As he polished he could hear the great horns roaring, could see them flashing in the sunlight, with the stars and stripes and the banner of Lincoln high going before”. In the lab next door, there was

George Washington, son of Augustine Washington and Mary Ball Washington, was born on February 22, 1732, in Westmoreland County, Virginia. He served as general and commander in chief of the Revolutionary War, and was later chosen as one of the seven Virginia delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in May 1787. The convention met with the purpose of creating a constitution for the newly formed nation of the United States of America. Due to Washington’s background, he was unanimously elected president of the convention. His favor with the other delegates promoted the ratification of the US Constitution in 1788. One year later, in 1789, members of the Electoral College unanimously nominated him as the new nation’s

Towards the end of the 1930s, the United States government was preparing itself to progress from one despondency to another. Because the Great Depression was nearing its final months and the threat of becoming involved in the European war continuously intensified, it was decided that substantial amounts of energy, along with an ascending budget, was to be focused on developing military boats that could haul soldiers from ships to open beaches. In New Orleans, Andrew Jackson Higgins was known for manufacturing Eureka Boats, or shallow-watercrafts that assisted in the exploration of oil and gas throughout the Louisiana bayous. After many failed attempts Higgins was able to adapt his design

George Zucco was born on January 11th, 1886. His father was named George De Sylla Zucco and his mother name was Marian Zucco. George father was a Greek merchant and his mother was a business lady that design dresses. Mr. Zucco didn’t have any brothers or sisters.

In 1908 he lived in Canada where he started his early career as an English actor.
