Bill Clinton

In honor of Bill Clinton, I did research about this hero in “Biography Today.” I chose Bill because he is famous. After the research, I was glad I learned so much about him.

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. He completed his formal education by attending Yale University Law School, where he also met his future wife, Hillary Rodham. He earned his law degree in 1973. In 1963, he was selected as a delegate to the American Legion Boy's Nation convention in Washington DC.

Hard work contributes to heroism. In 1978, Clinton was elected to his first term as governor of Arkansas. At 32, he was the youngest governor in the nation. From 1973-1976, he worked as an attorney in private practice and as a prefacer at the University of Arkansas school of law.

Bill Clinton is important to mankind and changed the world. On October 3, 1991, Clinton entered the race for a president, declaring himself a candidate for the Democratic nomination. That day he presented many themes that he returned to throughout the campaign. In 1992, Bill Clinton became the new President of the United States of America.
