John Fitzgerald Kennedy, known as JFK, was born in Brook line, Massachusetts on May 29, 1917. John F Kennedy father, Joseph Kennedy, Sr., was certainly a wealthy investor and a demanding father who expected his sons to be politically ambitious. When John F Kennedy was ten, his family moved to New York, and when it came time to enter high school, he was sent to Choate, a prestigious Connecticut boarding school. He became very popular with his peers there, but managed only mediocre grades. He had a similar experience at Harvard, which he attended between 1936 and 1940, while his father was serving as Ambassador to Great Britain and the tensions in Europe that would eventually lead to World War II mounted. In correspondence to the U.S., Joe Sr. advocated support for the British policy of appeasing Hitler so as to avoid a second world war. On a personal level, JFK felt continuously overshadowed by his older brother, Joseph Kennedy, Jr., who was regarded as their father's favorite.
