For my eighth grade field trip, I went to Washington D.C. When I was in Washington D.C, we, my friends and teacher, went to see the White House I got wondering what the history and the structure of the White House. I am finally able to do some research the White House. I believe everyone should know everything about the history, structure and also some facts about the White House.

This is important because Gandhi knew the way he and many others were being treated poorly and they had to do something. His family shaped him for a successful future…
