As President, his courage gave the whole country a chance to develop courage in their own hearts and minds.” I also knew I wanted to incorporate a child, because courage to me is something communal, something to be shared, and something that Kennedy inspired in others and especially in the next generation. I knew I wanted to incorporate the Moon into my piece because even if he never lived to see his mission realized, putting the first man on the Moon was a direct result of his personal courage and ambition. He overcame the divisiveness concerning Cuba and the threat of communist regimes by unifying the country in the pursuit of a common goal-an extraordinary and exoplanetary one at that. Kennedy had the courage and the insight to lead our country in a crucial moment of our history. He imagined what we could be, and encouraged us to see the same. He showed future generations the path to the stars and he challenged us to do what seemed impossible. I am inspired by the courage he displayed in his time as President, the courage to reach for the stars. He was the man who de-escalated the Cold War, established the Peace Corps, and led us to the Moon. Kennedy is one of those presidents who stands out from the rest in history class. ![]()
