I am a kid just like you. I go to school, play 

with my friends, spend time with my family, 

and have lots of fun. Except I get to live in the 

White House! The White House is the place 

where all the presidents live while they are 

president. How do I get to live there you might 

be wondering? Well my dad is the President of 

the United States of America!  

It all started in 2009, when my dad 

become the 44th president. A 

president is what we call the leader or 

person in charge of America. Lots of 

people were excited because he was 

the first African American president 

ever! I started to see my dad’s name 

Barack Obama everywhere! I guess 

you could say we became pretty 

famous. 

When you get elected, or chosen 

president you stay president for a term 

of four years. My dad was elected 

president two times, once in 2008 and 

the other in 2012. That means I got to 

live in the White house for 8 years.   

My dad had lots of new responsibilities 

when he became the president. I liked 

to talk to him about his days at dinner 

because there was always something 

new going on. Dad said sometimes 

being president is stressful but that he 

knew it was important to make 

changes to better America. 

Now I am just a kid so there’s a lot of 

things my dad does that I don’t really 

understand. I know being the President 

is a big deal though. My dad told us one 

day that he had ended a war in Iraq. It 

made me happy that other kids would 

get their dads back home now. 

Living in the White House I learn lots of new 

words! One of the words I heard my dad use a 

lot was reform. He explained to me that a 

reform was like making a change to something 

to make it better. My dad tried his best to 

make changes to make America better for all 

the people. 

Since becoming president my dad made 

reforms to education and schools. He also 

made reforms in the economy. The economy 

is a word that refers to all of America’s 

money, products, and businesses. It takes a 

lot of time and planning to make reforms to 

improve things. What are some things you 

would like to reform? 

My dad even made reforms in health care. 

Health care is a service that helps people get 

what they need to be healthy. His reform, 

called Obamacare got my dad a lot of 

attention. Some people like it, while others do 

not. But it’s tricky to get millions of people to 

all agree right?
