Nonconformist: Theodore Roosevelt, Michael Jackson, And Thomas Edison

Nonconformist are people who live their lives the way they want. Theodore Roosevelt, Michael Jackson, and Thomas Edison follow that lifestyle because they were all honest transparent people who say what they think and do what they want. They stood up for what they believe in without caring what people have to say or think about them. They do things for themselves they don't care if they were not accepted by people. Theodore Roosevelt, Michael Jackson, and Thomas Edison are examples of people who were nonconformists.
One nonconformist who is a American statesman and a reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States is Theodore Roosevelt. When Roosevelt became president America’s society and economy were changed. Roosevelt used

his energy and visionary leadership in the nation to set successful growth and political influence. When Roosevelt became president he also changed everyone's view on presidency. He forever changed the influence and scope on presidency. Roosevelt was one of the best to be prepared president. He entered the white house with a broad understanding of governmental and legislative processes and with executive leadership experience. Roosevelt knew people admired him for how much he knew, how well experienced, and skilled he was as a president, but he will remember us for centuries for how much we cared for him and his opinions. This was shown because he stated “No one cares about how much you know, until they know how much you care” (“Roosevelt”). Roosevelt was not the only nonconformist in politician, we have other nonconformists in the field of art.
One nonconformist was an American singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor which is Michael Jackson.

Jackson was an African American who had a skin disorder called Vitiligo that created white patches on his skin. Jackson started to use makeup to disguise the discolored patches. He used makeup everywhere, and he wouldn't go outside without using makeup. Jackson’s skin disorder started to get bad so he decided to bleach his skin all white. He didn't care what people thought about him about how he changed his skin color and he continued his career on singing and dancing and he still had all of his fans who loved him for who he was. Jackson didn't care what people said about him and he was happy for who he was and this was shown when he stated “I'm happy to be alive, I'm happy to be who I am” (“Jackson”). Jackson was proud of who he became, that he still was and will always be a Black American, and he was proud of his

race.
One nonconformist was an incredibly succesful American inventor, scientist, businessman, and gathered up 1,093 patents in his lifetime this is Thomas Edison.

Edison developed and invented many devices that greatly influenced life around the world for example the light bulb, phonograph, motion picture camera, and partially the electric light bulb. Edison didn't actually invent the light bulb. Many inventors developed forms of the electric lighting before his experiments. He found a better material such as the carbonized thread to use as the filament to make the electrical light commercially practical. Edison and other inventors and leader refused to give up. They saw failures as learning and had chances to make adjustments in their process this was shown when he said “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time” (“Edison”). Edison learned from his mistakes and tried again with knew knowledge. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more

time.
Nonconformist are respected in our society because they don't follow the crowd, they are their own leader, they don't act like everyone else, they don't want to fit in with the world around us, they are themselves, and don't want to be like everyone else. It is okay to be a nonconformist because you go in your own direction and don't care what other people think about you and even sometimes your attitudes and beliefs influence other people. Theodore Roosevelt, Michael Jackson, and Thomas Edison are examples of nonconformists because they all changed our world in different ways. They were people who go out of their way to be different, to do the opposite of what other people do.
