2020年2月，我陪同儿子还有其它男童子军参观海军学院 (United States Naval Academy)。该学院离我家大约50分钟车程。

下面是学院关于卡特的介绍。
James Earl (Jimmy) Carter, Jr., who in 1976 became the fifth consecutive President with prior Navy service, from Plains, Georgia born to Lillian Gordy and James Earle Carter. Carter grew up in a rural atmosphere and attended public schools. Graduating from Plains High School in 1941, he attended Georgia Southwestern College in Americus, Georgia. After a year there, Carter transferred to Georgia Institute of Technology to study mathematics for a year in order to qualify for the U.S. Naval Academy. In 1943, Carter received an appointment to the academy and became a member of the Class of 1947. After completing the accelerated wartime program, he graduated on 5 June 1946 with distinction and obtained his commission as ensign. After serving in positions such as radar officer, CIC officer, Training and Education Officer, he attended the U.S. Navy Submarine School, Submarine Base, New London, Connecticut from 14 June to 17 December 1948. Carter was honorably discharged on 9 October 1953 at Headquarters, Third Naval District in New York City. On 7 December 1961, he transferred to the retired reserve with the rank of Lieutenant at his own request.
In 1962 he won election to the Georgia Senate. He lost his first gubernatorial campaign in 1966, but won the next election, becoming Georgia's 76th governor on January 12, 1971. He was the Democratic National Committee campaign chairman for the 1974 congressional and gubernatorial elections. On December 12, 1974, he announced his candidacy for president of the United States. He won his party's nomination on the first ballot at the 1976 Democratic National Convention, and was elected president on November 2, 1976. Jimmy Carter served as president from January 20, 1977 to January 20, 1981. In 1982, he became University Distinguished Professor at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. On December 10, 2002, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2002 to Mr. Carter "for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development." In 2010, he published his 25th book, White House Diary.
