His favorite thing he liked to do was hang by his knees by the struts beneath the highschool football stadium. He was very loving as a child because when his little sister died of leukemia, in his best way he tried to comfort his parents instead of playing with his friends, he spent the afternoon with his mother and father. He loved sports, and he always led the pack, so he was a leader. He was a wise guy because he was always quick with a smart remark. One time he entertained his fourth grade classmates by drawing an ink mustache, goatee, and sideburns, on himself.

To get a feel for how Lyndon Johnson came to achieve greatness, let us look at how his journey began. In 1908, Lyndon was born on a farm near Stonewall, Texas to his loving parents Samuel and Rebekah. His father was a man who had a love for politics and instilled it into his son at an early age. Lyndon would hide “under tables or stand behind doors, straining to hear every word of his father’s evening bull sessions with political friends” (Schulman, 7). His father would also take him on trips with Sam Johnson, a member of the Texas State Legislation. On such trips, he learned his father’s liberalism and also learned a strategy of Sam’s by “getting really close to someone, nose to nose, when he wanted to convince them of something” (7). These tactics and others such as Sam’s honesty in regards to not taking bribes were characteristics which helped mold him.
