Introduction

My name Is John Fitzgerald Kennedy. I was born May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts. I am Joseph Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald's second born son of nine children. I graduated from Harvard Law School in 1940, where I shortly afterwards joined the United States navy. I was first recognized for my patriotic and heroic events in 1943, when my tanker boat was rammed by Japanese enemy forces. Despite grave injuries, I led my the survivors through the harsh and perilous waters to safety. Later after returning home from the war, I became a Democratic Congressman for my local Boston area, later moving up to Senate in 1953. This was my first step into politics and my first experience as a politician.
Not too many years later, I gained the vice presidential nomination for the Democratic party. Four years after that, I became the first-ballot nominee for President of the United States of America. It was a tough battle, but finally I pulled through, and became the US's first Roman-Catholic President. Although many disagreed with my work as a president, others strongly supported my decisions and actions. I'd have to say that my biggest mistake, although working out in the end, was the Bay of Pigs Invasion, which I will further explain later. On November 1963, after barely one-thousand days in Presidency, I was shot down and killed by an assassins bullet as my motorcade passed through Dallas Texas. I was the youngest man elected, and the youngest to die.
