Sasha Obama: Photos Of Presidents Daughter Through The Years — Sasha Obama is the second-born child of President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.

She would often appear on stage with her dad for campaign rallies and when he was elected President of the United States in 2008, she showed up right after the victory to pose for photos with her family and wave to the large crowd of supporters.

From 2008 until early 2017, Sasha grew up with her older sister, Malia, in the White House. She would appear in public at special holiday events throughout those years and grew up in front of the public’s eyes. After leaving the White House, she went back to the normal life of an American citizen and continued attending school. She attends the University Of Southern California, as of 2022.
