Barack Obama, middle right, poses with a group of classmates in Punahou School's 1979 yearbook in Honolulu, Hawaii. Obama, whose mother was from Kansas and father was from Kenya, spent much of his childhood in Hawaii but also lived in Indonesia.

As a high school student, "Barry" Obama sang in the chorus and played football and basketball. He later attended Columbia University and Harvard Law School. The future Illinois senator also worked as a community organizer and civil rights attorney in Chicago.
