John F. Kennedy

President Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts. After he graduated college, he went to the Navy.  His ship once got hit and he and ten other sailors had to spend 3 days afloat. He wanted to pursue a political career so he did. He started from eleventh congressional district of Massachusetts and worked his way up to President. Soon after he won the eleventh congressional district of Massachusetts, he married Jacqueline Bouvier. They had two kids Caroline and John Jr.  And then he got a disease called Addison disease and that would weaken his immune system. As the election day comes, Kennedy's winning chance was very thin but, he won and got the nomination. Then he won again for president. As president he proposed to raise the minimum wage to $1.25/hour and it worked. Kennedy was going on his daily routine raising money for his campaign for his reelection. While passing through Dealey Plaza in a parade in Dallas, he was shot in the throat and head and they took him to the nearest hospital.  Then he soon died. The police finally caught man by the name of Lee Oswald and that was the person that did the crime. Although he may have died, he is still a very famous president.
