Before America knew Theodore Roosevelt as a symbol of courage, he was a little boy struggling to breathe.

In this episode of This American Character, Tony Michaels tells the story of young Teddy Roosevelt — a sickly child with severe asthma who learned early that fear could live inside the body. But Roosevelt’s story did not end in weakness. With the encouragement of his father, he began building the strength, discipline, and courage that would later define his life.

Before the Rough Rider, before the presidency, before the “strenuous life,” there was a frightened child in a dark bedroom fighting for the next breath.

And that is where courage began.
