Richard Nixon is a good choice.
He was a fantastic man and a loved president but during the time in office he took part in the Watergate Scandal. His choice to take part in the scandal was a bad one but it was to help his career. I'd say that was a difficulty. But in the end he was still a great president and alot of people still found him to be a good man.

Helen Keller is one of my favorite brilliant people. She became deaf and blind at the age of two and went on to be a huge advocate of social change. What a role model for children today. Lots of information on her available. She graduated college, she wrote books, organized unions, etc... One of my favorite quotes from her is: "I resolved that whatever role I did play in life, it would not be a passive one." That moves me everytime I say it. Good Luck on your report! Maddie
