    After learning about the Kennedys and their passion to change the world, I was completely inspired. I now want to go into government and politics. Have they changed you in any way?

    I learned about them during a really emotionally destitute period of my life. They restored my faith that a sense of honor and the will to put that into motion can not only help a couple of people - but inspire millions, and that message transcends into the world as always historically significant.

    They were all too human great warriors to me - and I love that. I love that they weren’t perfect, and they were always the first people to admit that. Anyone can have their doubts and say what they will, but there’s no denying that family set the bar for public service astronomically high, and they’re better people innately for it.
