Hillary Clinton
Our listener question this week comes from Vietnam. Nguyen Thanh Do wants to know about the political life of Hillary Clinton.
Hillary Diane Rodham began her political career as a student in Park Ridge, Illinois, near Chicago. It was there that she served as class president of her high school. She was also a member of the student council, the debate team and the National Honor Society.
Hillary continued to be interested in politics as a student at Wellesley College for women in Massachusetts. She began college as a Republican. She even served for a short time as president of the College Republicans.
But she soon resigned her position after realizing that many of her beliefs were not in agreement with Republican principles. She became a loyal Democrat soon after.
Hillary Rodham was president of her graduating class at Wellesley in nineteen sixty nine. She was the first student ever to give the school’s graduation speech. Hillary went on to study law at Yale Law School in Connecticut. It was there that she met Bill Clinton. The two were married in nineteen seventy-five.
