Laughing also belongs to a kind of flower of laughter

He was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961, to a Kenyan pastoralist father and a mother in Wichita, Kansas. My father's skin was as black as pitch, my mother as white as milk.

Before he was a year old, his father betrayed his mother and returned to Africa with another beautiful American woman. Her mother, a teacher, soon remarried a foreign student from Indonesia and gave birth to a daughter, Maya. When he was 6 years old, his mother and stepfather took him to Indonesia. Attending Catholic primary school in Jakarta, he was hit again when, at age 10, his mother and stepfather divorced and he was sent back to Hawaii to live with his maternal grandparents.

His entire childhood was associated with contempt, his dark skin and the contempt of his classmates for his heritage, so he had to weave a touching lie that his father was a prince in an African country, which impressed his classmates. But this story was later debunked, because his biological father had been invited from Africa to speak at the school, and he was sitting among his classmates, and the school officials quickly confirmed the paternity of the speaker and him, and for a moment, the wind began to rise and the eyes began to be dismissive.

Feeling lost, he simply chose to break the can, he carried his grandfather and grandmother did not know, wandering on the beach and streets of Hawaii, skipping school, and even smoking marijuana and cocaine. Especially at the age of 17, he was Bohemian and handsome and fell in love with a beautiful girl, but he still often cheated on his girlfriend. At a dance before graduating from high school, he dumped his girlfriend who had been with him for a long time and had a lightning relationship with another white girl who was only 15 years old. Almost everyone was shocked when he showed up one night with his new girlfriend on his arm. After this, the excited two people went straight to the hotel room! However, it was not long before this immature girl was also abandoned.

When the matter finally came to light, he was named and criticized by the school leaders, and his evil deeds were posted on the school bulletin board. Many people said that he was so notorious that his name was dyed black in ink, and the students who had been fooled greeted him with sneering glances and fake faces.

His self-confidence fell to the bottom, the painful blow made him unable to lift his head, in the evening, his grandfather found him asleep in the river and dragged him home.

Without scolding, his grandfather was good at inducing him and asked him the reason for the matter, and he cried bitterly in front of his grandfather, saying that everyone looked down on himself and his hateful black skin hurt his courage.

Grandfather smiled and said: "Laughing is good, is also a kind of laughter, someone laughs at you, it means you have talent, they are jealous, this matter depends on how you see, Obama, you are good at arguing, eloquence, flexible mind, this is like your father, if more careful, more confident, you will surpass me and your father, rise above the people."

Obama was greatly influenced by his grandfather's advice, and in his autobiography, he described himself as if he had found spring, and the feeling of finding confidence was so good.

Obama is destined to be a different person, after graduating from high school, he passed into Harvard University, and got a doctor's degree, after a few years, he participated in the work of Congress, and was sworn in as a senator in 2005, the 2008 United States election, he was elected as the first black president in the history of the United States, November 7, 2012, He defeated Mitt Romney and won a second term as president of the United States.

Ridicule is also a kind of flower that belongs to laughter, it belongs to the flower family, helplessness is her basis, but confidence is her trunk, hardness is her veins, jade and ice is its main color. In this world, there is a very strong ridicule of the flower, not open, open will surprise four, the country.
