Hillary is one of the most famous women in America. Born in 1947, she lived a happy childhood. Her parents were open to anything that interested her. But they were also strict with her. When young Hillary got A grades at school, her father said the school must have been too easy. When she ran home from a bad school boy, her mother wouldn’t let her in. “Go back and face up to him. There is no room in the house for a coward(懦夫)!”

Years later, young Hillary put all of her energy into politics(政治). As a student leader, she often discussed and researched social problems. In 1969, Hillary entered Yale Law School, where she met Bill Clinton. The two soon became partners in political activities and the journey of love.

Even after Bill was elected(选举)as president in 1992, Hillary didn’t want to just be the president’s wife. She worked on US healthcare. However, she was not popular with those against her husband. At that time, some people said she was too interested in politics. But Hillary kept her head held high, “When she takes on a project, she works tirelessly until it is completed,” said Betty Lowe, an old friend of the Clintons. “It’s that kind of determination(决心)that will help her win the White House.” She has made a decision that she will take part in the election of the next president in 2016.
