This is a short biography on John F. Kennedy. In this biography you will learn biographical data about J.F.K., interesting or little known facts, why I chose J.F.K. for my biography and information about what I heroes. We'll start off with why I chose J.F.K. for my biography report. I chose John F. Kennedy for my biography report because I find that almost all of his life is very interesting. I first discovered my interest in J.F.K. when I was watching a show about his assassination which took place on November 22, 1963. Now that I've done research on J.F.K. I have found that almost his whole life is full of interesting things. I think that if everyone knew all the information I've found on J.F.K. then they would wish he were still alive or if they already wish he were still alive then like J.F.K. more than they already do. When I got J.F.K. for my biography project I was extremely happy because of how interested I am with J.F.K. and now, after all I've learned about him, I'm even more interested. J.F.K. led a very interesting life and I finally know why everyone was so upset when Lee Harvey Oswald killed J.F.K. These are my reasons for choosing J.F.K. for my report. On this page you will learn what I think it means to be a hero, if I think my person was a hero, why or why not, and how I think a hero is different from a celebrity. In my mind a hero is someone that can inspire you to do better in school or be a better person or make you want to do something good. A hero is someone that you look up to as a role model in my mind but it doesn't have to be anyone famous it could be a parent or anyone you want it to be. I think that to many people John F. Kennedy was a hero because how great a president he was for his time in ... ... middle of paper ... ... Kennedy the youngest elected president he was also the first Irish Catholic president. (Top right) This is a picture of Kennedy and his crew. I chose this picture because I find it interesting that Kennedy had been in a war were as most of the presidents haven't been in a war. (Bottom center) This is a scale of how much bigger the Japanese destroyer was than PT 109 and I find it amazing that all the destroyer did was rip PT 109 in half. 1) Falkof, Lucille, John F.

    Overall I consider JFK to be the number one leader and hero the world has ever known. He inspired me not only by his words but by his actions also. When JFK spoke to people he was able to make them feel great and empowered. He was an artist. The English language was his paintbrush and the U.S. was his canvass. Through his utilization of leadership traits and techniques, JFK changed the world for the better. If it wasn’t for his perfect balance of intelligence, confidence, charisma, determination, sociability, and integrity than we would not still respect JFK as a leader and his accomplishments to this very day.
