BARACK OBAMA

Lately I have really been into inspirational books and I think everyone can agree that Obama's speeches are very motivating and really make you wanna get up and do something with your life. So... instead of reading his other novel which is very similar called The Audacity of Hope I wanted to read of his life when he was a kid like me or how he became the character that he is today. I like biographies because I love to see how a person was shaped and molded into who they are now. This book inspires me because the president of the United States was a kid once too,like me,and made mistakes once too, like I have. But yet he has still come out victorious. Obama shares with us the experiences of child hood starting with his heritage. Obama's mother is white and his father is from kenya. But he shares the experience of growing up in a home where he never really knew his father because Obama's dad moved back to Kenya when he was only two years old. Obama and his mother moved from the states to hawaii but things changed when his mother got married to obama's stepdad which caused her to move to indonesia but she wanted Obama to stay in Hawaii with his grandparents and he feels that since he lived with his grandparents that truely was what gave him his chracter today. What people grow up around does have an effect on why they are who they are.
