John F. Kennedy was destined to be president of the United States, he would rather mold history than let history mold itself. He was born in Brookline, MA in 1917. His mother was Irish and his father Joseph Kennedy was a graduate of Harvard University and had entered the worlds of business, and politics along with a good portion of his family. After their arrival as immigrants, his grandparents were the ones to begin the trend.
             In 1946, JFK started down the road mapped out for him by his father. Since Kennedy was more of a scholar than a politician, it wasn't easy when he ran for Congress from Massachusetts' 11th district. Since his family was well known, he fit right in.
             He served in the House of Representatives for six years. Then in 1952, he ran for the Senate against Henry Cabot Lodge. He won and then began to capture the eyes of men in the Democratic Party. In 1956 he decided to run as the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, but he lost to the Senator of Tennessee. His effort, however, earned him national prominence, exactly what he wanted. In 1960 he won the Democratic Presidential Contest. From that time on JFK had developed into one of the most effective speakers in the history of the presidency.

             While a junior member of the Senate in 1952, Kennedy met Jacquelin Lee Bouvier, who was working as a photographer for the Washington Times Herald. On September 12, 1953, they married in Hyannis Port on Cape Cod. Although Kennedy was not born a politician, he learned the trade fast. His quest for presidency started in 1959. His campaign was a very exhausting experience for him. He had planned early on that he would "cover everything, do everything and see everyone."
