black pants. As I passed the elephant statue in the park, I saw a kid wearing a pink shirt and
black pants. Without thinking, I immediately approached her. After getting close, I pulled her
and took her to my friends. I wanted to tell them that I had managed to find her. However, I
became silent, when I saw Putri was near my friends. She greeted me “hey why did not you
find me?” I was confused. Then I saw my friends laugh. Then I looked to the children who I
drag from near the elephant statue. I was surprised that it was not Putri but she was someone
else wearing the same clothes. The girl looked at me with disgust. All of my friends there
were laughing at me. I was embarrassed. I wanted to run out of there. Finally, I apologized to

13. Orientation:
Woodrow Wilson served two terms, from 1913 to 1921, and led the United
States through the first World War. Wilson might have seemed an unlikely war
president. He was a university professor before he entered politics. And, when the
conflict began in Europe in 1914, Wilson strongly rejected the idea of the U.S. getting
involved. He even campaigned for his second term on the slogan "He kept us out of
the war." But Wilson's idealism eventually made him believe the U.S. must enter the
conflict. He famously said, "The world must be safe for democracy."
He spent the last months of his presidency fighting to create a League of
Nations that would prevent future wars. Wilson did not succeed in that effort. But the
effects of his presidency are still seen today in both the domestic and foreign affairs of
the United States.
 Sequence of events:
Woodrow Wilson was born in the state of Virginia in 1856 and grew up in the
South. Wilson's father was a Protestant Christian minister who supported the views of
the
Confederacy during the Civil War. Wilson's mother had been born in England but
raised in the United States. She was reportedly warm and loving, especially to her
husband and four children.
Wilson's early life was marked by poor health and a passion for learning. His
education included tutoring by Confederate soldiers, classes with his father, a year at
Davidson College, a bachelor's degree from the school now called Princeton, one year
of law school, and a doctoral degree in history and political science from the
University of
Johns Hopkins. He remains, so far, the only President with a Ph.D.
Wilson's academic interests were in government, and how it could be most
effective. Even as a young man, he supported the idea of a strong Executive, either a
Prime Minister or a President. He wrote a number of books, including a biography of
George Washington, and a history of the United States. He also taught popular classes
at several colleges, including Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania, Wesleyan in Connecticut,
and Princeton in New Jersey.

Reorientation:
Wilson collapsed from exhaustion because he travelled more than 15.000
kilometers in 22 days and gave 29 speeches to raise public support for the League of
Nations. Shortly after, he suffered a major stroke. Although he recovered somewhat,
he remained partly paralyzed. He rarely appeared in public again. Instead, Wilson
communicated to Congress through his wife. When Republicans changed the Treaty
to deal with their concerns, Wilson told his supporters to reject it. In the end, the U.S.
never did join the League of Nations.
When a new president, Warren Harding, was sworn-in in 1921, Edith and
Woodrow Wilson retired to a house in Washington, D.C. Three years later, the former
president died quietly there, finally at peace.
