B. Biography of John F. Kennedy
John Fitzgerald John F. Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917 in Brookline, Massachusetts, in the midst of a wealthy and respected family. Grandfather from his father's family, P.J. John F. Kennedy, is a wealthy banker and liquor dealer. While the grandmother of her mother's family, John E. Fitzgerald, who has the nickname "Honey Fitz," is a powerful politician who works as a congressman and as Mayor of Boston. John F. Kennedy's mother, Rose Elizabeth Fitzgerald is a high-class lady in Boston. His father, Joseph John F. Kennedy Sr., was a successful banker who gained huge profits from the stock market after World War I. Joe John F. Kennedy Sr. then continued his government career as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and as Ambassador to the United Kingdom.
John Fitzgerald John F. Kennedy, more often called, Jack, is the second oldest of nine brothers. His brothers include Eunice John F. Kennedy (founder of Special Olympics), Robert John F. Kennedy (US Attorney General), and Ted John F. Kennedy, one of the most powerful senators in American history.
John F. Kennedy attended Canterbury parish school (1930-1931) and Choate School (1931-1935). One of his teachers said that people at school liked him more for his personality than his achievements. She often gets sick as a child and spends a lot of time reading. John F. Kennedy enrolled at Princeton University in 1935 but the disease soon forced him to retreat. After his recovery he entered Harvard University, where he majored in government and international relations. During his early years at Harvard, he traveled to Europe and observed events leading up to World War II (1939-1945). He used his observations for his senior paper assignment, which later became the bestseller of 'Why England Slept' (1940).
After graduating from Harvard with an award in 1940, John F. Kennedy entered Stanford University to pursue graduate studies. In April 1941 he tried to enlist in the US Army but was rejected for physical reasons (a back injury received while playing soccer). A few months later, after his back was strengthened through training, the US Navy accepted it. He later became an intelligence officer in Washington, D.C. After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor (a US military base in Hawaii) on December 7, 1941, the United States entered World War II. John F. Kennedy requested active duty at sea and was given this task in the 1942s. Continuing training in the Torpedo Motor Boat Squadron, John F. Kennedy was sent to the South Pacific for the war against Japan. In March 1943 he was commanded a torpedo patrol boat (PT), a small boat, fast, and armed with weapons, including torpedoes. In August his boat was sliced into two by a Japanese destroyer and two of his men were killed. John F. Kennedy and four others held on to half of the PT ships that remained afloat. Six other people survived in the nearby waters, two wounded. In the three-hour struggle John F. Kennedy put the injured ship crew into a still-floating shipwreck. When the ship was upside down, he ordered his men to swim to a small island about three miles away. He drew one person to the beach in a heroic five-hour struggle. A few days later, after showing courage, leadership, and endurance, John F. Kennedy and his men were rescued. Returning to civilian life, John F. Kennedy worked in newspapers for several months, including UN conferences, the Potsdam Conference, and the British elections of 1945. However, since he came from an ordinary family of public services, John F. Kennedy wanted a career in the field political.
C. Political Career John F. Kennedy
In 1946 he became a U.S. candidate House of Representatives from the Massachusetts district to eleven. John F. Kennedy built a great personal organization for his campaign.

Robert and Edward served as managers, while his mother and sisters organized social activities to raise funds for his campaign.
