About My Life

Hello, my name is Harry S. Truman, and I am starting this blog to help people learn more about me and my life. I will start with an outline of my life. I was born on May 8, 1884. I was born in Lamar, Missouri. I grew up on many different farms, but in 1890, my family and I decided to settle in Independence, Missouri.

Even though I have had bad vision ever since I was a young child, I loved to read. The subjects that I particularly enjoyed were government and history. I also enjoyed playing the piano and I was very good at it.

As far as my education goes, I went to local elementary schools and high schools. After high school, I did not continue my education until 1923, and I attended law school from 1923-1924.

April 12, 1945 was a very important day for me. On that day, I became the thiry-third president of the United States of America, succeeding Franklin Delano Roosevelt, also known as "FDR".My vice-president was a man named Alben Barkley. This is all that I post for now, but next, I will talk some more about, my life and what went on during my presidency.
