See President Obama’s Emotional Reaction As First Daughter, Malia, Starts Senior Year

Like most parents, US president, Barack Obama is not immune to feeling anxious about his children’s impending leave from home to pursue higher education.

In a speech delivered at Macomb Community College in Michigan on Wednesday, he shared:

“Just yesterday, Malia started her first day of senior year. You know, I was sitting in her room because I was going to see her off her first day of school. She puts her head on my shoulder and she says, ‘Daddy, you know, you realize this is probably going to be the last time that you ever send me off for my first day of school.’ And I started — I had to look away. I didn’t want to just be such a crybaby. It makes no sense. Michelle and I are way too young to have daughters who are both almost in college now. So as a parent, I was a little freaked out.”
