CHAPTER

6

The Dream Come True Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, in 1961. He was given the same name as his father: Barack Hussein Obama. His parents had met in a language class at the University of Hawaii.

Barack’s father came from Kenya and his mother came from the state of Kansas.

During his early years, he was called “Barry” both at home and at school, but he liked the name “Barack” better. About his childhood he has written: the fact “that my father looked nothing like the people around me – that he was black as pitch, my mother white as milk – barely registered in my mind.”

Barack’s father left Hawaii when the boy was only two years old, and the parents divorced one year later. Barack moved into a house near the university with his mother and her parents. Back in Kenya, Barack’s father worked as a finance minister in the government, but a conflict with the Kenyan president destroyed his career. He started drinking and, after a car crash, lost both his legs. In 1982 he died in another car crash, just 46 years old.

What Barack knew about his father came mostly from photos and family stories.

Still a young boy, Barack moved to Indonesia with his mother, Ann Dunham, after she married an Indonesian student.

In Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world by population, Barack Obama went to local schools. When Ann Dunham’s second marriage ended in divorce, her son went back to Honolulu to live in an apartment with his grandparents.

Later his mother also went back to Honolulu. Barack stayed in Honolulu until he graduated in 1979. Sadly, his mother died of cancer in 1995.

When he was in third grade in Indonesia, Barack wrote an essay that gave an idea of what was going to happen. In the essay he said that he wanted to become president. His teacher later said that she did not remember what country he wanted to become president of, but that he said that his reason for becoming president was that he wanted to make everybody happy.

Going to law school in 1988 also opened Barack Obama’s eyes to the world of politics. In his 2008 campaign to become president, he had the support of many celebrities. But the best support he had was probably from his wife, Michelle. When they first met, she was his mentor in a law firm where Barack had got a summer job. Michelle Obama has said she 45

and her husband believe “that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond, and you do what you say you’re going to do, that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don’t know them, and even if you don’t agree with them.”

As the first African-American candidate, Barack Obama made great use of the Internet and text messages on mobile phones. Many believe that this use of technology helped to make him president. He also refused to make race an issue in his campaign. But when he finally swore the presidential oath in January 2009, he made sure to include ‘Hussein’ in his name. Like Abraham Lincoln, the president he has always looked up to, Obama seeks to bring the nation together to face America’s problems. The first African-American to become president, Barack Obama is the ultimate symbol of the American dream.
