John Fitzgerald Kennedy by Theresa Zeuner

He was the 35th president of the United States of America for 3 years.

Before he became president he was the senator of Massachusetts,

where his mother gave birth to him. And of course he was member of the

Kennedy family with a beautiful wife. But what kind of president was John?

He was very popular in America as a democrat. He fought for his country

and also for the weak like the black people, he tried to envisioned a word where race doesn't define greatness.

So he supports the march of Washington.

Another important part of his policy was the space

program. It was Kennedy's plan to bring an American on the moon before the

Russians could do this. In only ten years he wanted the scientist to build a

rocket and bring a man to the moon and back. And it worked.

The cuban crisis showed that Kennedy was a good president he handled the

crisis well and found a peaceful way to interact with the Sowjets so he

prevented a nuclear war.

And of course he was a president who wanted the Americans to do more

volunteer work, this was the thing that made John so famous. Once Kennedy

said : And so my fellow Americans ask not what your country can do for

you - ask what you can do for your country.

And that's the motto Americans are still acting on. For example the schools

where it is normal that there are volunteer clubs.

To keep the legacy alive and the legacy of all the other presidents, every

president get a library and a museum. John F. Kennedys library stands in

Boston and is also a place where people get their citizenship.
