Barack Obama

by Bastien Dutoict from Avelin in France

I'm going to tell you about Barack Obama. For me a hero is a person who is determined, who has helped me grow, shaped the person that I've became over the years. That's why I selected him. Barack Obama was the first black president in the United States. He is 59 years old. He was the 44th president of the United States. He was American and he was born in Hawaii. He was president from 2009 to 2017. His campaign slogan was, "Yes we can." This was difficult to do because in the United States, there was a racist history of slavery in the country but he wanted to fight. He is the most courageous, brave, the most determined. As a conclusion, Barack Obama is my favorite hero because he fought a racism in America because he proved that anything is possible. I think a racist is very bad.
