Hillary Rodham Clinton, born on October 26, 1946, is currently the 67th United States Secretary of State working under Barack Obamas presidency. Up until this year, she was the United States Senator for the state of New York, starting in 2001. Before becoming the Senator for New York, she served as the First Lady of the United States for 8 years, which came to an end in 2001 when her husband, Bill, had completed his second term as President. Hillary acted as the leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in the 2008 election, falling short to Barack Obama. Although Hillary didn’t succeed in her bid for presidency, she still managed to accomplish many things in the various highly respected positions she was granted the opportunity to be. Upon further reading, I will briefly touch upon, how she became the successful and influential politician she is today, how she wisely conducted the power she was granted, and how internationalism played a role in her career as a politician.

Raised in Illinois, Clinton grew up in a conservative, and United Methodist believing family. She was taught to love god with all ones heart, mind, soul and strength.1 At age 13, Hillary was already showing a keen interest in politics as she canvassed in the South Side of Chicago, where she paid close attention to the 1960 U.S. Presidential election. She was so intrigued that she volunteered in the next U.S. Presidential election, in 1964, to campaign for Barry Goldwater, a Republican. Hillary had graduated from Maine South High School, after being on Student Council, receiving many awards as a Brownie and Girl Scout, participating in the school newspaper, being selected for National Honor Society, being a National Merit finalist, all on top...

...irst Lady of the United States during the two terms that Bill was president, being Senator of New York for eight years, and now currently being our 67th Secretary of State. As a very motivated Lady of State, and later First Lady, she made many valiant efforts to create solutions for the issues that had arisen during the time which she was in position. Her passion to get involved, her wise decision making, and her charismatic ways have definitely made her a politician that won’t be forgotten.
