President Obama has made many changes in his life, but probably the biggest one was when he decided to enter politics. Prior to that decision, he had been a law school professor and a civil rights attorney. But in 1996, he ran for office for the first time, and he won a seat in the Illinois State Senate. Having been born in 1961, Mr. Obama was 35 years old when he won his first political election.
After graduating from Columbia University, Barack Obama worked as an advocate for the poor and a community organizer in Chicago; he got a graduate degree from Harvard Law School and became an attorney; he was also a professor of law.
