Introduction Every child dreams about growing up. Some children know what they want to be as adults. Others have no idea. Some do not find a direction for their life until they are adults. This is the story of just such a child. Things happened in his life that made him feel as though he did not fit in. He was bothered by many things around him. Over time, those things helped him discover his path in life. He developed a strong desire to improve the world. That desire led him to become president of the United States of America.

Growing Up Barack Obama Jr. -called Barry during his childhood-was born in 1961 in Hawaii. His mother was from the state of Kansas. His father was from the country of Kenya, in Africa. His parents met and married while they were students at the University of Hawaii. The marriage did not last. By the time Barry was four, his father had moved back to Kenya.

成长的过程中 小巴拉克·奥巴马1961年出生于夏威夷，小时候叫他巴里。他的母亲来自堪萨斯州。他的父亲来自非洲的肯尼亚。他的父母在夏威夷大学读书时相识并结婚。这段婚姻没有维持多久。巴里四岁的时候，他的父亲搬回了肯尼亚。

Barry's mother married a man from Indonesia when Barry was six. The family moved from Hawaii to Indonesia. Barry sometimes felt strange being so far from Hawaii. He felt he was not part of the community where he now lived. His parents were of different races and from different continents. Barry wondered who he was and where he belonged in the world.

巴里六岁时，他母亲嫁给了一个印尼人。这家人从夏威夷搬到了印度尼西亚。巴里有时觉得离夏威夷这么远很奇怪。他觉得自己不是他现在居住的社区的一部分。他的父母来自不同的种族和大洲。巴里想知道他是谁，他在这个世界上属于什么位置。

Barry's mother taught him about races and cultural groups. She told him about slavery and civil rights in the United States. Barry also learned about important African Americans who helped to improve the world. Barry's mother wanted him to be proud of his background. But Barry also learned that some people were ashamed of the color of their skin. And he learned about people who thought others were bad just because of their skin color or religion. Barry was confused. It was a lot for a young boy to think about.

巴里的母亲教他种族和文化群体。她给他讲了美国的奴隶制和民权。巴里还了解了一些重要的非裔美国人，他们帮助改善了世界。巴里的母亲希望他为自己的背景感到骄傲。 但巴里也了解到，有些人对自己的肤色感到羞耻。他还了解到，有些人仅仅因为别人的肤色或宗教信仰就认为别人不好。巴里很困惑。对于一个小男孩来说，要考虑的事情太多了。

Barry lived in Indonesia for four years. Then, his mother thought he could get a better education in the United States. So in 1971, when he was ten, she sent Barry back to Hawaii. He lived with his grandparents while he went to school. In Hawaii, Barry again felt like an outsider. He was one of only two African American students in his class. Some of his classmates made fun of his unusual name.

巴里在印度尼西亚住了四年。然后，他的母亲认为他可以在美国接受更好的教育。所以在1971年，他10岁的时候，她把巴里送回了夏威夷。他上学时和祖父母住在一起。 在夏威夷，巴里再次感到自己像个局外人。他是班上仅有的两名非裔美国学生之一。他的一些同学取笑他不寻常的名字。
