US President Barack Obama once commented on his mother. He said that kindness and nobility can always be seen in his mother, and all the advantages he has are obtained from her. Obama may not be an ordinary person to us, but his mother is just an ordinary mother. She loves her son as much as most mothers in the world.
In fact, it is not easy for Obama to ascend to the presidency, especially when he was young. At that time, because he had many ethnic backgrounds, it was difficult to gain social recognition, so he felt extremely inferior at that time, and even became an addict, constantly indulging his life and unable to find the meaning of life.
Some people say that he did this because of his parents, but in fact, this is completely unfounded. His mother, whose original name was Stanley Ann Dunham, was born in a middle-class family in the United States. His father was a participant in World War II. After the war, he carefully managed the furniture business, and it also had a certain scale, while his mother was even worse. She is the vice president of the Bank of Hawaii and the first woman to become a vice president.
Later, Dunham settled in Hawaii with his parents. She was curious about everything at that time. Even though the distinction between white skin and black skin in the United States was clear at that time, she did not discriminate against skin color, and she was willing to make friends with blacks.
When Dunham 18 years old, he fell in love with a black man from Kenya. At this time, she forgot all the voices of opposition. Bold, she even eloped with her boyfriend regardless of her studies and family choices, and soon married him. In the second year after marriage, she was pregnant with the crystallization of their love. This child is Obama.
I thought they should be able to live a happy life with their children, but because their boyfriends didn't want to give up on themselves, they chose their own studies and were admitted to Harvard University. Then the contradiction between husband and wife gradually appeared, and soon the marriage broke down. After the divorce, Dunham was alone with two-year-old Obama.
However, it is difficult for a person to maintain this family. She didn't want her children to suffer with her, so Dunham chose to take them back to her parents and start a new life. She regretted that she had not finished her studies, so she chose to study again on campus, and Obama was also taken care of by her parents.
It was not until Obama was 6 years old that Dunham found love again, married an Indonesian man, and took Obama away from his parents and raised him personally. But this marriage ended in failure. Dunham is a single mother again, and this time she has to raise two children.
Persist in learning and pursue life.
Although Dunham raised two children by herself, she persisted in her studies. In her opinion, education is very important. Similarly, she also attaches great importance to children's education. She will wake Obama up at 4 am and let him study English for three hours. The memory of studying during this time also made Obama very deep. He is very grateful to his mother for her education.
After that, Dunham continued to study. At the age of 30, she successfully entered the University of Hawaii to pursue a doctorate. By this time, she was more than just a single mother. She still wants to live a full life, which has a profound impact on her children.
Unfortunately, Dunham died of cancer in 1992. She can't see how Obama was elected president in 2008. How proud and proud she would have been if she could. Like ordinary parents, she will brag about her child to the people around her, saying how smart and great he is.

It can be said that all mothers in the world are ordinary, great, selfless, gentle, deeply in love with their children, looking forward to their children growing up, worried about whether their children will be hurt outside, and worried about whether their children have eaten well and dressed well, and have a cold and fever.
No matter what achievements you have, no matter how old you are, you will always be their favorite child in the eyes of parents, so cherish them before their hair turns white.
