California has provided the country with a ton of celebrities and very important people. They dominate the big screens the news, the government to the halls of fame. Yeah, California has given or housed some of the most important figures in the present day and even history.

Ronald Reagan was the 40^th president of the United States. Being a Californian, he quickly made his way up the popularity chain. After retiring after two terms, he let his library be built in Simi Valley, CA. Because of his career and popularity, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library has been becoming quite an attraction for tourists all around the country. A lot of money comes through tickets, so the condition and furnishings of the library are perfect. And with a little extra to spend, they can add many screens and videos to help us, tourists, along.

Being a person who lives in America, Reagan's legacy and accomplishments are all somewhat familiar. Upon a quick racking of my brain, I can tell you off the bat that he's a good president that solved many tough issues for the country. That's about it.

The library proved to be an enormous building for learning. After graduating from Eureka College, Reagan applied for a job as a commentator. Getting the position, he was appointed to the Chicago Cubs home games. Following his sports career, GE, an electrical company, sought him out to run shows, using his voice to broadcast commercials. In the following years, he found the ability to act and began a career in the movie industry. Hollywood took his skills, featuring him in many movies, where Reagan learned humor.

World War II hit, and Reagan was drafted into the military. But because of his poor eyesight, he was kept out of combat. After the war, the movie industry was devastated, which basically marked the start of Reagan's political career. He began campaigning for many Californian issues, forming a committee. In the next few years, he was elected as California Governor and soon ran for president. And that's where we are now. Even with a few bumps and bruises along the way, like an attempted assassination, Reagan settled many of the countries and even some global problems.

All this information was stuffed into the library, and I probably didn't tell the story very accurately, so go online to see the full story. The library also had the entire 3rd floor dedicated to a retired Air Force One, in which we promptly waited a full twenty minutes to see five minutes of the president's flying office. I must say, the movies really overdo what the plane is about. All it looks like is an Emirates First Class suite. But Reagan really was the most frequent flyer of all the presidents, praising how much the plane has given him time to answer letters from the public. However, this plane was retired in 2001 when a new plane was made and set into use.

And this coming year, the current Air Force One will fly the rich Donald Trump around the world.

加利福尼亚州已向国家输送了大批公众明星和炎贵要员，他们主宰电影新闻政界娱乐领域，没错，不仅现在如此，以往历史上加州都曾出现过不少重量级人物。

罗纳德·里根是美国第40任总统，身为加州代表，其人气攀升极快，两届任期结束之后，他又把以自己名字命名的图书馆设在加州西米谷，因其政绩及知名度，罗纳德·里根总统图书馆业已成为全国各地游客心向往之的观光景点。图书馆收入大多源自门票，藉之足以保障图书馆正常运营和维修费用，花点小钱安装荧光屏和视频，就能为游人提供所需的服务项目。

对于生活在美国本土的民众来说，里根的传奇故事及其丰功伟绩可谓家喻户晓，我稍作思索即刻脱口而出，他是一位挺不错的总统，为国解决了许多棘手问题，大致情况确实如此。

图书馆空间很大，有助于人们瞻仰学习。里根从尤里卡学院毕业之后便申请评论员工作，刚被录取就参与 “芝加哥小熊”主场棒球比赛，干了一段时间，通用电气公司找上门要他主持节目，利用他的嗓音播报广告。接下来几年，里根发现了自己演戏潜质，于是又开始闯荡电影业，好莱坞让他在多部电影里一展演技，从中学会了幽默。

第二次世界大战爆发里根应征入伍，但因视力不好而未被派往前线。战争结束之后，电影业损失惨重，至此开启里根进军政界的新篇章。他组织团队，为加州问题四处游说，未来几年当选成加州州长，不久又就任美国总统，再往后的事情大家熟知。尽管执政道路坎坷不平，其间还经历暗杀行刺，里根为排解很多国家乃至一些全球危机做出了贡献。

上述内容全部收罗在图书馆内，我可能说得并不十分确切，好在网上都能查到所有信息。图书馆专门用整个三楼来展示退役的“空军一号”，我们足足花了廿分钟排队，为了观看毋需五分钟就能浏览完毕的总统飞行办公室。我必须声明，电影把它吹嘘得天花乱坠，其实里面只不过像阿联酋航空公司飞机一等套舱而已。里根的确是飞得最为频繁的总统，说来当该好好夸一下这架总统专机，殊不知里根在这里给多少国民写过回信，然而该机在新产“空军一号”投入使用之后已于2001年完成使命。

明年来临的时候，现役“空军一号”将载着富翁唐纳德·特朗普周游世界。
