PRESENTATION OUTLINE
WHO WAS JOHN F. KENNEDY ?
BY, YONA ZELDIS MCDONOUGH
THE ROAD TO SUCCESS
- Brave
- intelligent
- kind
- generous
JFK went above and beyond. He was brave by sitting on his cascade in Dallas, Texas going through the streets. JFK was brave because he was a war hero. He was intelligent because he went to Harvard. He was kind because he went up to many people during his parade in Dallas and shook hands with them. He was generous with his time because he spent as much time with his family as he did serving his country.

“We stand today on the edge of a New Frontier … Beyond that frontier are uncharted areas of science and space, unsolved problems of peace and war, unconquered pockets of ignorance and prejudice, unanswered questions of poverty and surplus.”
This quote was part of his democratic speech. This was before he got elected as president.
