Who knew such a normal beginning would give the world such a hero? Bill Clinton was born in Arkansas on August 19, 1946. Bill’s dad was an alcoholic. Bill's life changed when his mother married Roger Clinton. Clinton is an avid reader and golfer. He also enjoys playing the saxophone, as he demonstrated on the "Arsenio Hall Show".
The foundation of heroism is education. Bill worked his way to Georgetown university. In Washington DC, he earned his bachelor's degree with a major in international studies in 1968. Clinton spent two years studying at Oxford university as a Rhodes Scholar, a prestigious scholarship awarded to outstanding students from the U.S and the British commonwealth.

In 1963, he was selected as a delegate to the American Legion Boy's Nation convention in Washington DC.
Hard work contributes to heroism.
