Take A Guess
Let's play a game
A guessing game
It's called 'Who Am I?'
Here's how it works:
There are 10 mystery people
You will be given 4 clues about each person
And based off of those clues alone
You will be asked to guess who each person is
After you've made all your guesses
You will be given the 4 clues about each person again
Except this time
The mystery person will be revealed so you can check if your guess was correct
To win
All you have to do
Is correctly guess at least one of the mystery people
Makes sense?
Good!
The game is simple
But winning is hard
Ready?
Let's Play!

How'd you do?
Did you win?
Tough guesses, right?
Well
Win or lose
Did you notice anything special about these people?
Did you notice some things that they all have in common?
Like
They're all Americans who have accomplished great things
Or whether it be art, thought, business, science, or entertainment
They all have contributed to the American aggregate
Or that they're individuals
Hard working
Ambitious individuals
Or that no matter their background
And no matter how smooth or rough their paths may have been
Their journeys all took them to the same place
Success
