Now, I think that I should have known that he was magic all along. I did know it - but I should have guessed that it would be too much to ask to grow old with and see our children grow up together. So now, he is a legend when he would have preferred to be a man.

Jackie Kennedy grew up in New York City. She attended several schools. One of her teachers said, "a darling child, the prettiest little girl, very clever, very artistic, and full of the devil." Jackie was very smart and attended very prestigious boarding schools.

Her parents divorced when she was ten. This was a hard time in her life. She stayed strong during it though. She graduated from high school and went to Vassar College. She did a year abroad in Europe. It is said to be one of her most favorite experiences in her life. When she got back to the States, she attended George Washington University, where she then graduated.

The Kennedy's had a wedding at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Newport, Rhode Island. Mrs. Kennedy was 24 and JFK was 36. She was nervous about the wedding but ultimately loved him. She was not used to the size and boisterousness of his family.

They had rough patches, like JFK being accused of cheating and the loss of a child, but they stood together. Their years in the White House were known as America's Camelot years. They did not let the press get in between their marriage. They always leaned on each other for support in times of crises.

Family was a very important thing in the Kennedy household. Both Jackie and John made time for their children. Jackie Kennedy said, "If you bungle raising your children, I don't think whatever else you do well matters very much." This shows how high she held raising children.

They also would make time to go on family trips. They would go to beaches on the East Coast and they would all feel at home and stress free. Even when JFK was burdened by politics, he would still have time for his wife and children. Family values were the main priority in the Kennedy years.

Before Jackie Kennedy became First Lady, she went to many prestigious colleges and worked for the Washington Times-Herald. There she worked as the inquiring camera girl. This is where she interviewed her future husband, John F. Kennedy. She interviewed many big names in the politics business. She showed how she could make life on her own.

When she married then Senator JFK, she was 21 years old. He then became President and she was the First Lady. She was not to fond of the title "First Lady". While she stayed in the White House, she renovated it. She went on foreign diplomacy missions with her husband and my herself.

This video is the life story of Jacqueline Kennedy. From becoming the first lady to having museums created after her, she always stood in the spotlight. This video shows her heroic journey into foreign diplomacy and the death of her husband. The video says, "She held the country and the world together." They were referring to her attitude during JFK's assassination.

She is so celebrated, that a fake pearl necklace sold for over $200,000. Her attitude is one of the main reasons that she is still remembered so greatly to this day. She "had a back made of steel" when she held the nation together. Her legacy includes her showing the world how they should act.

At President John F. Kennedy's funeral, Jackie Kennedy stood strong for a grieving nation. She led the funeral procession and stood with JFK's family. She stood by her children and walked with Robert Kennedy. “Her behavior from the moment of the shot ... was, to me, one of the most memorable things of all. Maybe it was a combination of great breeding, great discipline, great character. I only know it was great.” -Lady Bird Johnson

Others said she held our nation that day. The last picture is of John F. Kennedy Jr. This was his final salute to his late father. It showed the country that they had not just lost their leader, but that people lost their husband, their father.
