Do you know who is the president of the USA now? Your answer is ‘Obama（奥巴马）, right?’ Next, let’s have a look at his growing experience（经历）. 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 president in U.S. history. Obama was born on August 4, 1961. His father is an African（非洲人） and his mother is a white American. This unusual background（背景）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 the third black senator（议员） in U.S. history.
During his competition for U.S. president, Obama talked about his background. He called for a United States of America, rather than a white America or a black America. Obama’s success（成功） is a historic victory（胜利）. It made Martin Luther King’s dream come true. That is: A man should not be judged by the colour of his skin, but by the content of his character.
