Person in History

Tell me about a person in history.
You should say: who the person is
when you got to hear about the person what he/she achieved
and explain how he/she influenced society．

·Obama = U.S．President, extremely famous and appreciated
·2008 election against Hillary Clinton: a woman or a black man?
·His background＝cosmopolitan (Hawaii, Kenya, Indonesia, New York)
·Obama = hope for the future (war＋global warming)
·Active＋smart＋promising（Nobel Peace Prize already)
I would like to tell you about Barack Obama, the current President of the United States. He's in his late 40's, but he has already achieved a lot, and obviously, it is only the beginning for him. I think it is no exaggeration to say that he became the most famous man across the world in 2009, and that his name could now be recognized by everyone on the planet. Actually, he has already received the Nobel Peace Prize for his many speeches and actions to strengthen world diplomacy
(=cooperation)．
In China, we really first heard of him when he decided to run for President. At thetime，he had to win his own Democratic Party's primary election. He was opposed by Hillary Clinton：a woman against a black man. It was the first time in American history. Obama made history by defeating Republican nominee John McCain and becoming, I think, the 44`b American President.
President Obama’s upbringing (= background education) is fascinating ， and it reflects a well-rounded man, very cosmopolitan．He comes from an atypical（＝unusual) background. He was born in Hawaii to a white American woman and a father from Kenya, Africa. But when he was very young, his parents divorced. He then moved to Indonesia with his mother. As a young adult, he first went to college in Los Angeles, and then transferred to the prestigious university of Columbia, in New York City, before being accepted at Harvard Law School.
Obama represents hope for the younger generations．People expect a lot from him. First of all, he was elected when the financial crisis hit the world, so his main goal has been to put an end to this severe world recession. In addition, there's been so much political tension with wars in Afghanistan, followed by the war in Iraq. Nowadays, people worry about global warming. People are looking for a leader to make the appropriate decisions.
It seems like the world is turning to President Obama to show the way. He seems to be a reliable leader, with great integrity（＝honesty). He's smart and very active. His future looks quite promising. We’11 see if he can live up to our expectations（＝meet our expectations)．
