The Life of JFK
The day is November 22nd, 1963. It’s a nice day in Dallas, Texas. Two men are in a building above the street, watching the motorcade go by. The first man looked at the second one, who was sitting down.
“You ready?” said the first.
“I guess.” responded his colleague.
The second man then pulled out a long suitcase and pulled out a sniper rifle. He loaded the magazine, set just so you can barely see the muzzle outside the window, and took a deep breath. All that was heard next was loud…
John F. Kennedy was born on May 29, 1917. His home turf is Brookline, Massachusetts. Before serving in both houses of Congress and becoming the 35th president, he was a …show more content…
John got out of trouble, and went to Harvard University. John was then drafted to the Miami Dolphins as in the first round, and became their starting quarterback. He became a rookie sensation, with 3,950 passing yards, 513 rushing yards, and 47 touchdowns. After that, young John joined the U.S. Navy. He discharged out if the military after injuring his back on a patrol mission. For his bravery in the Navy, he won the Navy and Marine Corps Medal and Purple Heart. 29 years of age, John ran for U.S. House of Representatives. He also ran for Senator, but still thought something was wrong in his life. So far, he’s done it all; learn to fight, went to Harvard, played professional football, joined the Navy, and was a Congressman and Senator. However, there was something missing in his life, something that can beat all of those together. He kept thinking what he could do until one day, he had an answer. He wanted to become the 34th President of the United States. But, the 34th president already existed, so he decided to become the 35th President of the United States. He fulfilled his dream in 1960 on November 8, beating Nixon and became the 35th president and also the second youngest president ever at 43. As president, Kennedy did many things. He was a great leader, but with great leaders come great responsibilities… and big enemies. One day, John was in a motorcade that was going down a street in Dallas, Texas. Everything was …show more content…
John new what he had to do; he had a bomb, one that could blow up the building with Alvin and Bob in it. But there was only one problem: it had to be detonated manually. John went up to the tower anyways because he knew what had to be done. He tried to sneak up there undetected, but was caught strangely by Bob. Then John was hit in the back of the head with a rifle, also strangely, it was Bob that hit him. John dropped the bomb, but started to crawl towards it.
“We take prisoners?” Bob asked.
John reached the bomb, and just before he detonated it, he responded, “I don’t.”
KABOOM! The building exploded into smithereens with all three men inside. JFK sacrificed his life so others were safe. He was a great man and a great leader. All he ever wanted to do was make a difference in the world. And he fulfilled his dream on that day.
