Who Was J.F.K
A Great Leader
BY, Tassia !!!!!!!!
JFK was a great leader. He was born in 1917 on May, 29th in Brookline , Massachusetts. He was a very nice, a leader, kind, and hard working.
Early life
This is JFK's early life he was 1 out of 9 kids. It was hard for him to impress his parents not his dad but his mom because his dad always knew he could do anything but his mom not so much. It was even harder for him because he was always in the shadow of his older brother Joe. JFK got a really really bad back injury while trying out for the swimming team. He loved swimming but when he was trying out for the team he hurt his back really bad. That made it hard for him to do stuff but he didn't give up. But that didn't stop him from doing anything!!!!!!!
Navy
JFK started serving in the navy in 1937. His father was made ambassador of great britan. JFK was in the navy and he was given special command of a patrol the pt-109 in the pacific ocean in 1944. A writer named John Hersey wrote about him and the command of pt-109 for a magazine named the new yorker . At first JFK didn't get into the navy at first but he didn't give up and then he got into the navy and became a great hero from the navy!!!!!!!
Presidency
JFK defeated Richard Nixon for the election for president. Many people were surprised that a such younger and probably less experienced person to defeat a much older and probably more experienced person. JFK ran for the democratic ticket because he had the same beliefs as the democratic ticket. Such as lowering taxes, and keeping the country safe and lots of other beliefs. He made the right choices for this country and he was deffidently one of the most hard working presidents!!!!!!!
He Died A Hero
JFK was a amazing leader for the U.S.A. because he made very good changes and laws that he made. Those changes were very helpful to the U.S.A. In 1963 JFK was shot and it was devastating but the good thing is that he died a hero!!!!!!!
