On November 8, 2016, Hillary Rodham Clinton could make history and become the first female President of the United States of America. Here are ten facts you might not know about the former First Lady and the ex-Secretary of State...

Hillary Clinton used to be a Republican!

As difficult as it is to believe it, Hillary Rodham Clinton used to be a Republican. During her first year in college, she was president of her college's young Republicans club. However, her views about society and the world changed during the 60s.

Here’s how she approached Bill Clinton after he kept staring at her during their college days

In 1971, Hillary and Bill were classmates at the Yale University. Both of them were strangers in a library when Hillary finally broke the ice and introduced herself. Here’s what she said:-

'If you're going to keep looking at me, and I'm going to keep looking back, we might as well be introduced -- I'm Hillary Rodham.’

How Bill proposed to her

Hillary once passed by a house with Bill Clinton, who she used to date before they were married, and casually commented that she liked it. Several days later, Clinton took her to the same house and said “Do you remember that house you liked? Well, I bought it, so now you'd better marry me because I can't live in it by myself." That time, Hillary said yes.

Despite her inability to sing, Hillary has won a Grammy award. Here’s how…

The Democratic nominee for the US Presidential elections had won a Grammy award for a non-musical album. She won that award for the audio version of her best-selling book It Takes A Village.

As Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton was a busy bee. 

Yes, so much so that she flew to as many as 112 countries and flew 956,733 miles. Talk about being a workaholic!

Here’s what she does to unwind in between her hectic work schedule

When not buried in briefing papers and not addressing thousands of supporters at campaign rallies, Hillary Rodham Clinton likes to delve deep into mystery novels.

Former US President Bill Clinton had to propose twice to her

True story. Bill Clinton had to ask for her hand twice before Hillary assented to marrying him.

Her two weaknesses…

Hillary has claimed in the past that just like any other girl out there, chocolates are her weakness. Another weakness is goldfish.

When it comes to music, she adores…

The legendary Beatles and as far as contemporary artists are concerned, Hillary loves Adele.

As a girl, she wrote to NASA and got a reply back as well

As a young girl, Hillary Clinton wrote to NASA to inquire whether she could be an astronaut some day. They replied back ‘politely’ to her, telling her that NASA did not take girls. Some fifty years later, Hillary might become the next President of the United States. You know what they say, shoot for the stars, even if you miss, you land on the moon. Good going Hillary!
