Jimmy Carter

Hello,
this time I'm going to write about Jimmy Carter, because we have already worked in nobel prizes and after that we have to write about someone who won a nobel prize.

James Earl Carter, was born on October the 1st of 1924. He is an American politician who served as the 39th President of the United States (1977–1981). Before he became President, Carter served two terms as a Georgia State Senator and one as Governor of Georgia (1971–1975).

In 2002, President Carter received the Nobel Peace Prize for his work "to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development" through The Carter Center.

Three sitting presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Barack Obama, have received the prize; Carter is unique in receiving the award for his actions after leaving the presidency.

I have chosen this person because it was the only person that I knew who won a nobel prize. I knew also Barack Obama but it was already chosen by another one. Apart from that, I consider him as a very interesting person and I think that he had deserved the prize he got.

If you want to know where is the information from click here.
I hope you like it.

  1. Well, the arguments for choosing him are not very serious, are they?? Why did he deserve the prize?
