His mother's English education in primary school, his father's basketball teaching in middle school, and his experience of becoming an addict from a student with excellent academic performance in college left a deep impression on me.
Among them, his experience of smoking marijuana in college made me greatly sigh. But just when I was disappointed in him, a man named Regin appeared. It was Regina who awakened Obama's deep conscience with her questioning and sarcastic tone and pulled him from the abyss of sin to the light. It is no exaggeration to say that Regin saved America and the world. I can't help admiring his legendary experience.

From work to unemployment to re-employment, he experienced numerous ups and downs. He lived in a cheap house rented in a slum and had to eat canned food, but he didn't give up and worked hard while studying politics and law. It is in this difficult environment that he created his indelible confidence and hope for the future. This also tells me the importance of self-confidence.
