George Washington was a leader.
He was brave.
He was fair.
But his greatest choice was not to keep power.
It was to give it back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/museum.wiserighteous.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Gemini_Generated_Image_fowj9efowj9efowj-1024x559.jpg\")

PAGE 3 \u2014 A BOY WHO PRACTICED DOING RIGHT<\/p>\n\n\n\n
