He worked hard to earn everything he accomplished, and this determination has been contagious. Obama inspires me to be more active in my community. In addition, Obama is very giving. He does a lot of volunteering, because he wants to give his time to help others. Specifically, he volunteers at K.I.D.S. and local food banks. He also gives a lot of money to help people in need. When he won a Nobel Prize for his humanitarian work, he donated all of the money to several organizations to give back. As president, Obama read books to kids and made sure to spend time with the people he led, again showing that he prioritized giving back to others. Finally, Obama is good-hearted. He makes sure that everything he does benefits others. He truly wants to make a positive impact on the world, and he uses his leadership platform to advocate for others.
