Ronald Reagan was elected at a time when lots of people were struggling due to losing their jobs. He became president with the hope of helping Americans remember their dreams.

Something interesting about him that I learned was the many hats he wore before becoming the oldest person ever elected president. Ronald Reagan was an athlete, a radio announcer, a movie actor, a union leader and a state governor.
