Do you know who is the president (总统)of the USA now Your answer is ‘Obama, right ’ Next, let’s have a look at his growing experience. Ten-year-old Obama was one of the only three black students at his school in Honolulu, Hawaii. The young boy didn’t look the same as most other students. White girls wanted to touch his hair. A white boy asked him whether
his father ate people. “I lied to them that my father was a Kenyan prince, but I kept asking myself who I was,” said Obama.
However, 37 years later, the boy made history. Barack Obama became the first black pre-sident in U.S. history. Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is an African and his mother is a white American. This unusualbackground made him want to know who he was. With the help of his friends, Obama finally went to college. His hard work made him a star at Harvard University, a famous university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Later, he became thethird black senator(议员) in U.S. history.
During his competition(竞争) for U.S. president, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than(而不是)a white America or a black America. Obama’s success is a historic victory(胜利). It made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged(评判) by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character.
