When Bill Clinton was a senior in high school, he was selected to go to
Washington, D.C., to be part of Boys Nation. Bill Clinton was one of the first
in line to shake President Kennedy's hand in the Rose Garden. After that, he
knew he wanted to make a difference in the lives of people by becoming
President of the United States.
