Nice! You managed to not show as much bias when writing your facts. That was the requirement for this assignment and it was a good biosketch.

I think this blog states that Biden is successful but could be untrustworthy. This said that he did well academically but it also said how he was accused of plagiarising. I thought it was cool how he attended for athletics and did well in academics. I would like to know more about the plagiarising, it sounds interesting.
