 Introduction
Hello
my name is John F. Kennedy and I am going to tell you the story
about my life and how I got assassinated.
Early Life/Birth
John
F. Kennedy was second of nine children. He was born on 83 Beals
Street, Brooklyn Massachusetts, May 29, 1917. He had a older
brother named Ted Kennedy. And he also had 5 sisters, and the
youngest was his little brother Robert.
Teenage/Young Adult
When
Kennedy a teen he really was into sports, especially football.
He played at Dexterschool in Brooklyn. After about two years
he moved to New York. John really liked to boat with his buddies.
Kennedy father Joseph was a millionaire. Mean while His brother
Robert got sick he suffered of a attack of an appendicitis In
1931. He got better in about ten months. So that his grades would
not go down they hired a tutor to come everyday. Robert would
always follow his brothers footsteps because he really liked
anything that John or Ted liked. Johns grades were pretty high,
in fact he graduated from high school right in the middle of
class from Walliingsford, Connecticut in 1963. Isn't that amazing.
After that Kennedy wanted to go for a carrier.
College Years
John
went to college at Stanford University. He studied economics
and enjoyed writing. The war was still going and he tried to
join the army in 1941 but he injured his knee when he was little
and did not get in. He stared to work out and about 3 months
later he tried to get in the navy and they took him. In late
September 22, 1941 he was sworn in a ensiqn. When he finally
got to work he was in the office of Naval. In December 7, 1941
a Japanese aircraft soared down and attacked Hawaii's Pearl Harbor.
Then the United States Congress declared war with the Axis nations
of Japan, Germany, and Italy. John requested active duty at sea.
April 23, 1943 John went to war in a PT 109 in the Pacific. After
three months August 1, 1943 it was a tough war but it ended.
Marriage
John
F. Kennedy got married to Jacqueline Lee Bouvier and she became
a Kennedy and that was on September 12, 1953. John was thirty
six and Jacqueline was twenty four. They had a huge Roman Catholic
ceremony. They got married in Newport,Rhode Island and had three
children.
Political Background / Campaign for
President
Kennedy
was going for President. He was running against Richard Nixon
and won in 1960. He was the youngest man ever elected for President
when he was 43. His Vice President was Lyndon B. Johnson. John
was a Democrat. One time when he was in the Navy a bomb hit his
boat and he had to swim to shore. That is a scary thought isn't
it? John F. Kennedy promised a new generation of Americans peace.
Also he said that there is difficulties in the world and he will
fix them and make them right. He wanted to complete these goals
and he did and it was a good two years. John was in war at the
time with the Cubans. They captured 7 of them and took them as
hostage. The reason they took them was because they fired missiles
at the United States.
The Assassination
While
Kennedy was in a parade in Dallas he turned to his wife and said
look how good Dallas has been to me and then got shot in the
head. One of the negative things that happened while he was in
office was that some think that Lyndon B. Johnson had something
to do with his death. And so from this day on that is the story
of John Fitzgerald Kennedy his life and how he became President.And
still from this day his grave has a flame on it in Washington,
D.C. so that his spirit will live on and on.
