In 2009, Barack Obama made history when he became the first African-American president of the
United States of America.
Obama was born in 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii in the USA. His mother was from the United States
and his father was from Kenia. When Obama was a young boy, his father left home and went back
to Kenia. Then his mother married a man from Indonesia and they had one daughter. The family
moved to Indonesia and lived there for four years. When Barack was ten years old, he moved
back to Hawaii and lived with his grandparents, his mother’s parents.
In 1988, Obama decided to go to Harvard University. That year, before he began studying, he took
a trip to Kenia to meet his father’s family. He met his grandmother, aunts, uncles and cousins for
the first time. His father and grandfather died before his trip. Obama’s father had seven other
children, so he also met his sisters and brothers for the first time when he was 27 years old. While
he was at Harvard University, Obama met his wife, Michelle. They both became lawyers. They had
two daughters, Malia nad Sasha, and they lived in Chicago.
In 1995, Obama published a book about his family, Dreams for my father. In 2005, he became a
US senator and finally, on 20th January 2009, Barack Obama became the 44th President of the
USA.
