Question 1

Among the successful Americans showcased at the museum, on President’s
hall I found a portrait that call my attention, this was a William
Jefferson Clinton Collage. The most appealing quality of this person
is that he was one of the youngest Presidents of the United States; as
well he took office at the end of the Cold War, being the first
president of the baby boomers generation. I admire his courage and
determination to achieve his goals. After he got involved in some
scandals; causing controversy all around the world but is not so easy
to manage correctly a country without affecting your personal life.
Maybe our similar goals are that such as he targeted himself to be
successful at a young age; I will determine myself to get this done
rather than just wish they happen. I admire his courage and respect
him.

A portrait which was most inspiring for me was the painting of John F.
Kennedy. This oil painting displayed Kennedy in bright colors, which
stresses the strength and drive that he possessed during his career as
president. As a former President of the United States of America, he
undoubtedly stands out for being very internationally minded. During
the Cold War, he played a major role in international advocacy. He
pronounced the popular four words ‘Ich bin ein Berliner’ which
confirmed the peace between East and West-Germany. This small sentence
was spread around the world with an enormous amount of enthusiasm. The
tragic news of the murder of Kennedy was consequently a unexpected
disaster. I admire him because he has been extremely strong and
motivated during very tough times. His speeches are so convincing and
show his strong leadership skills. I think Kennedy must be an
inspirational person for so many people that are impressed with his
style, open-mindedness and enthusiasm.
