The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The events in Johnson's early life that shaped his belief of how the presidency should be were the following.
United States President Lyndon B. Jhonson (1908-1973) was born in the state of Texas. In his early years, he saw how his parents worked as farmers. Their economic condition was not good, and historians say that when he was in elementary school he said he wanted to be President of the United States. Years later he traveled to California, got back to Texas, got involved in some troubles that made him arrested. Then he came of age and decided to pursue a teacher's career. He realized that life was not easy.
In 1931 he became part of the staff of a Congressman. He got married and kept on doing a diligent job in politics until 1938 when he won the elections of the 10th district of Texas.
During World War II, and due to the close relationship he had with Franklin D. Roosevelt, he became a congressional inspector to oversee the progress in the Pacific. There he witnessed the pain and suffering of the war.
Years later, he won a seat in the Senate. A heart attack in 1955, made him rethink his priorities but he realized he wanted to serve his country and that is when he decided to be part of the candidacy for the vice presidency.
