I personally think it'd be pretty cool to run into Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He was the 32nd president of the United States of America and was an all around people person. Not only was he diagnosed with polio at a young age, but he married his fifth cousin's daughter, Eleanor Roosevelt! I think he would be a professor at my University because of his insight on things. He approached things without haste and realistically. "The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself" is one of FDR's most famous quotes from his 1933 Inaugural Speech to becoming the President. There is truth to that statement, we tell ourselves to be afraid of things, it's programmed into us and we are afraid of being afraid. FDR would be an amazing teacher, and he could not only approach things in a new light, but he could provide political anecdotes and insight, which is very interesting!
FDR was and still is one of the most interesting and helpful presidents the USA has seen, he worked forwards in his efforts to help our nation and not completely 'bass ackwards' like his preceding president, Herbert Hoover. Not only can Roosevelt provide us with wisdom and help us imagine what it's like to control a whole country, but he can tell us how to approach situations with the most logic. In his famous "Day of Infamy" Speech, he says "As commander in chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense." This was after Japan unexpectedly bombed Oahu and the US decided to bomb them. I believe that the president did what was in our best interest and that he reassured the people of the United States. So I really do think that FDR would be an amazing Politics or Public Speaking teacher!
