His father was a leading Conservative politician and his mother was an American socialite, the daughter of a New York millionaire.
2.Churchill was a low achiever at school, thanks mainly to his independent and rebellious spirit. His father believed him to be unsuited to a career in law or politics, and put him in the army class.
3. He got little time and affection from his parents, and once remarked that he hardly ever spoke to his father. When his father died young, aged 45, the young Churchill, convinced that he too would die young, vowed that he would have to make his mark on the world as quickly as possible.
4. Churchill had a severe lisp. In later life, he would have special dentures made to help his speech. Despite the challenges he faced over his speech impediment, Churchill went on to be widely acknowledged as one of the greatest public speakers of modern times. 
5.After leaving his school, Harrow (which he loathed), Churchill applied to attend the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. It took him three attempts to pass the entrance exam. He graduated in 1894 and was commissioned as a cornet (second lieutenant) in the 4th Queen's Own Hussars the following year.
6.He also began to write as a war correspondent. In 1895 he went to Cuba to observe the Spanish fight Cuban guerrillas in the Cuban War of Independence. He came under fire on his 21st birthday and was later awarded a medal by the Spanish. He also acquired a lifelong taste for Cuban cigars and siestas. 
7. Churchill left the British Army on 5th May 1899 and later that year went to South Africa, as a war correspondent, reporting on the Boer War. He was captured and held in a prisoner of war camp. He escaped, traveling almost 300 miles (480 km) to Portuguese Lourenço Marques in Delagoa Bay with a 25 pounds bounty on his head, and became a national hero back home in Britain for a time.
8.. After standing for the Liberals again in the 1923 general election in Leicester and losing, Churchill returned to parliamentary politics in 1924, standing for the Conservatives in Epping and winning the seat. He was offered the post of Chancellor, a position that had once been held by his father.
