If You Could Spend One Day With Anyone In History Who Would It Be?

      I chose Sir John A. MacDonald as the person I would like to meet.

      Sir John A. MacDonald was Canada's first prime minister as we know, but what happened before he got elected?After? There are so many things people do not know about our first prime minister like: How did he die? He is an iconic figure in Canadian history and always will be but we don't know how he died? Wouldn't it be so cool to go back in time and see how he really lived? All we hear in history class is: Sir John A. MacDonald first prime minister of Canada, the end. But there is so much more than that, that I want to find out.

      We would definitely talk about politics but also about different things, for example: Did you have security guards at your side? Did you live in a house or apartment? Also I would definitely take a picture with him (maybe I can get some extra marks in history?)

      I would hope to learn about how to be a leader like he was, also to learn from him that it is hard to get what you want but if you stick with it and go all the way until you get it, it will be worth every sweat and tear you put in it. Especially if it is for other people.

  1. It sounds like you have set some high goals for yourself. Being a leader is hard work and takes a lot of personal energy.
    There are a lot of things to ask him for sure. What about politics would you ask him?
