John F. Kennedy was born on 29th May 1917 in Brooklyn. John's mother was Rose Fitzgerald and his father was called Joseph P. Kennedy. She had 9 children, 4 boys and 5 girls. John was the second child. John was a weak child. He was always ill and he had problems with his back. When he was 13 years old he went to the Catholic High School. Later he should have gone to the school of Economy but he couldn't finish the school because he was very ill. When 19 years old he went to the Harvard High School. 3 years later he finished the studies.

Summer of 1939 he traveled through Europe. When the second World War began John was in London. Later he wrote a book about his experience. The book is called: " Why England slept". John and his brother went to the US-Army John was a commander of the torpedo-ship"PT 109" After the second World-War John won the selection as the delegate of the House of Representatives and then he lived in Washington. During the same time his illness broke out (Addison) but he got medicines. 1960 John stood as a candidate for the office of President. Richard M. Nixon was his competitor. John won the fight and he became President. John governed 4 years in the United States of America. In 1963 on 22nd November he was shot dead in his car and was one buried it in the cemetery of Arlington. John was very successful as a President and he wanted to govern again 4 more years.

I took the biography of John, because he was a very famous person and many people (but me) knew his history. I thought the life of John had to be very interesting.
