On a beautiful day on October 30, 1735, the greatest American who ever lived John Adams was born. From the article “Adams, John (1735-1826).” John was an American and he had many jobs, some of these were he was a diplomat, which was a person who stood between two augmenters and transferred information between each other. He also stood as a vice president and soon after he was the second president of the United States. His father, John Adams was a farmer, shoemaker, church Deacon, militia officer, tax collector and a selectman. Susanna Boylston Adams, John’s mother was from a wealthy and smart family of merchants and physicians. From the article “John Adams” is says that as a young child, John loved the outdoors in Braintree where he grew up. He loved to do many things such as making and sailing ships throughout ponds and lakes around his house. He also played other games such as shooting, wrestling, and swimming. The one thing he always hated though as a young child was any type of business, studying or work. His school days were spent at Dame school. This school was a public Latin school; but he was taught by two tutors. John’s parents were strong believers in education therefore he had to work hard and do the right thing in order to suit his parent’s needs.
After being a child, John’s parents sent him to Harvard University to study Law. He wanted to be a lawyer, and he was really dedicated to his work and enjoyed everything he did with his career. Over the next several years, John tried to slowly but surely build up his law practice, but more important he began to involve himself in more things such as the Maelstrom of Revolutionary Politics. The one thing that was good about John was that everyday he began to involve and get more and more interested in his profession. After graduating college in 1755, the 19 year old Adams moved to Worcester, Massachusetts, which was a town 30 miles from Boston. Here he started teaching various classes and went into law practice along with teaching with James Putnam. All this information came from “Adams, John (1735-1826).” John Adams was always there for his country during its hard times. He served under George Washington as the first Vice President, and followed him as the second president of the US. The United States Government moved from Philadelphia to Washington DC and Adams became the first president to live in the White House.
Adams was 65 years old when he finally left the White House. He left home to go do what he does best which is farming, studying his religion and history. This previous information came from “Adams, John” database. John wasn’t the most attractive president we had. His appearance consisted of really short and pretty fat. He had fuzzy grayish whitish hair. He was not very popular at all just because he was pretty mean. He was very impatient and he was very blunt, odd, and just plain mean. In 1764 John married his wife Abigail Smith; she was an astute political observer and was thought to be known as one of John’s “dearest friends”. Together the two had six children, and one of them, John Quincy Adams became the sixth president of the US. Sadly, on July fourth 1826 John passed away. He was a great American and he did a lot of good things for our country. He was a great president and he signed the Declaration of Independence. Overall, he was a great man.
