President Barack Obama Case

President Barack Obama is the 44th person to be sworn in as the president of the United States of America, he is also the first African American president in the history of the U.S. Throughout this essay, you will hear my thoughts on why I consider the president at the most influential person in my life. From the president childhood history, up to his adult life, I will highlight the most inspired achievements and selfless acts in becoming what he is today.

President Barack Obama has been the most influential person in my life who I have considered to be the perfect example of a father figure. I have learnt a lot about independence from him. President Barack Obama was raised in a single parent household; he was accepted to Punahou School, in Hawaii's; one of Hawaii's top academy preparatory school. His father wrote to him regularly but, though he traveled around the world on official business for Kenya, he visited only once, when President Obama was ten years old. The president lived in Indonesia with his mother and stepfather until he was six years, and then returned to Hawaii where he was raised by his grandparents. The president has shown great measures of not being caught a victim of his environment, but instead becoming President of the United States. So far my life have taken similar turns as the Presidents'; from growing up in a single parent household, having the opportunity to attend private school, finishing high school and now attending college to further my education; all the above without being swallowed up by society and their stereotypes; I consider this as the right path to become someone role model, as the president did in my life.

As an African American, the President has had many successes throughout the years. He attended Harvard Law School and became the first African American editor of the Harvard law reviews; he served as a professor at the University of Chicago Law School in which he also attended. Barack Obama got married to Michelle Obama in October of 1992, and eventually became an Illinois state senate, followed by being elected for president of the United States. President Obama was the fourth president to win a Nobel Prize and was considered as time magazine's top 100 most influential people in the world in May 2010.
