My favorite character
?Barack Obama was born on August 4th, 1961 in Hawaii. His parents were both students at the University of Hawaii . His father¡¯s name was Barack Obama Sr.. He was a black man from Kenya, and his mother¡¯s name was Ann Dunham. She was a white woman from Kansas. ?His parents separated when he was two years old and his father returned to Kenya.
After the divorce his mother remarried, this time to a student from Indonesia, and the family moved to Jakarta where Barack studied in an Indonesian school. When he was ten years old he went to live with his grandparents (his mother's parents) who moved to Hawaii. While attending school in Hawaii he was one of only three black students in the school. In 1982 his real father died in a car accident. His mother died of cancer in 1994.
After graduating from high school he attended college in Los Angeles and then graduated from Columbia University in New York. Next he attended law school at Harvard and became a civil rights lawyer. He also taught at the University of Chicago Law School.
In 1992 he married Michelle Robinson. They had two daughters: Malia and Natasha. Barack can play basketball and he also can speak English, Indonesian and some Spanish. In 2008 people elected Barack Obama as the new president of the United States. It was a truly historical event in the country. In 2009, he won the Nobel Peace Prize.
I like Barack Obama because he is a simple, humble and brave person who became the first black president of the United States.
