Not every politician gets the opportunity to become the president of a great country called the United States. Bill Clinton served two terms in this position. Today he is considered the most effective manager in the history of the state.
Childhood and adolescence politics
If at the birth of this person astrologers tried to predict his fate, then the forecast could be disappointing. The future president of the United States was born on August 19, 1946 in the small town of Hole, Arkansas. A few months before his birth, his father, who worked as a traveling salesman, died in a car accident. The child was named William Jefferson, and Bill is a diminutive form of his name. The mother had to leave the boy in the care of her parents, as she was trained as a nurse anesthesiologist.
Grandparents sold groceries in their small shop. It is important to note that they were frowned upon by their neighbors. The point is that the owners did not differentiate between white-skinned and “colored” customers. Racial segregation was widespread in America at that time. It was during his childhood that Bill received his first lessons in democracy and tolerance towards people with a different skin color. When the boy was four years old, his mother married a used car dealer Roger Clinton.
Study and political activities
Bill did well at school. He pleased both parents and teachers with his successes. As a teenager, Clinton, he took this surname voluntarily, learned to play the saxophone and even organized a jazz orchestra. At seventeen, an active student led the state's youth delegation, which went to meet with US President John F. Kennedy. After graduating from high school, Clinton entered the University of Washington. For his high academic performance, he received an increased scholarship.
After graduating and returning to his home state, Clinton began to lecture on jurisprudence at a local university, and at the same time to engage in political activities. Three years later, he won the election, and took the post of attorney general of the state, and two more years later became governor. For more than a decade, Clinton has held this position and has achieved tangible results. For example, the largest amount of funds for education was allocated in the state of Arkansas.
Recognition and privacy
In 1992, Clinton won the presidential elections in the United States. At first, things were not going well for him, but he found the necessary leverage. During his two terms in the White House, he managed to significantly reduce the unemployment rate and reduce the state budget deficit, which had been accumulating for several decades.
Bill Clinton's personal life turned out well. He met his wife Hillary during his student years. They got married in 1975. The husband and wife raised and raised their daughter Chelsea.
