This week, Malia Obama will graduate from Washington D.C.’s prestigious Sidwell Friends School along with the rest of the school’s class of 2016.

Congratulations are due for Malia Obama, who somehow managed to go through high school with the world’s most protective parents. “I was asked if I would speak at her graduation, and I said, ‘absolutely not, because I’m gonna be sitting there with dark glasses sobbing'”.
Now that she has her diploma, Malia is taking a gap year before enrolling at Harvard. “They don’t have an attitude”, Obama said, crediting his wife and her mother Marian Robinson, who lives at the White House with the family.
It was all about Malia Obama today, and not being “the President’s daughter”. The White House says the President did call Ali’s widow to offer his condolences.

Former President Bill Clinton delivered the speech at Sidwell Friends in 1997 when his daughter Chelsea graduated. Malia has had summer internships on the NY set of HBO’s “Girls” and in Los Angeles on a CBS sci-fi drama, since canceled, that starred Halle Berry.
The pre-teen whose swing set still sits just outside the Oval Office now turns heads when she’s spotted around town – including driving her vehicle. Secret Service agents taught her how to drive.
At Sidwell, Malia played soccer and tennis, the flute and piano.
When her parents leave the White House in January, Malia will still have a home in Washington. She was just 7 when her father was elected to his first term as president in 2008.

When they do travel together, as they did recently on a trip to Chicago and San Francisco, Obama and Malia are often seen smiling and joking together.
