Answer 2

Answer:

He made those who came to see him feel good

He refused to "allow bodily disability to defeat his will"

Explanation:

In the year 1921, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States of America, was diagnosed with infantile paralysis, also known as polio. Even though his health was constantly deteriorating, he never let his pain overpower his will especially during the hard times of World War II. He never used a wheelchair in his public appearances, yet his experience with the disease had become a significant part of his identity.
