Julia+L.+-+I+am+Benjamin+Rush

For my "I Am..." project, I chose Benjamin Rush to be my person. Before I researched about him for this project, I only knew that he was a famous American physician during the 1700s. I was only interested in him at first because I read him from a book, and read that he was a very famous doctor. As I researched about him more, I became more interested in him and his life: his education, early life, achievements, etc. I had many questions in my mind while researching about him, but some of the main questions were how he got involved in politics or why he wanted to become a lawyer first. I still do not have enough information to satisfy my interest in him or even to answer many of my questions, but I will keep researching and become an expert on Benjamin Rush.
