I learned that JFK was a senator for Massachusetts. I also learned he was born in Boston. Another thing i learned is that JFK was in the Navy and fought in Vietnam. The element that i found most interesting in the field trip was the short film on the Cuban Missile Crisis and how we set up a Naval Blockade and ordered them to stop production. I honestly don't have any suggestions on how to improve the field trip in the future besides maybe spending more time watching short films because that is where i learned the most information, and it also put what we learned in class to actual visuals; making the information more understandable. I really learned more than i actually expected to so i feel the field trip was very helpful. I think that JFK was a great president for the time being. One reason is because he got elected at the perfect time because the United States needed a guy like JFK to bring them hope and change that JFK planned on bringing. I don't necessarily think JFK was one of the best presidents of all time simply because he got cut short on his term; but he started huge strides on civil rights(which LBJ carried on) and ended a crucial problem with Cuba.
