<p>Today, we often think of George Washington as being stiff and formal, but he was also the teenager who braved the wilderness, spending time with American Indians and frontiersmen. He was the young officer who amazed other soldiers with his athletic ability and courage. As a military leader, Washington often charged into battle ahead of his men. And as the president of the Constitutional Convention, Washington often advised delegates with nothing more than a smile or a scowl.

Fortunately, that included commitment, a spirit of adventure, boundless strength and energy, a self-critical nature, and willingness to compromise with others.</p>
