What's Next For Sasha Obama? Plans for the Obamas Younger Daughter Post-White House
The political spotlight has been widely focused on President Donald Trump and his family the past few weeks as he transitioned to power Friday afternoon, but some are wondering what the Obamas will do post-White House. The youngest of the family, Sasha, has avoided scrutiny compared to reports of what her sister and parents will do, begging the question: What’s next for Sasha?
The younger of the Obama daughters, Sasha, 14, is a freshman at Sidwells Friends and is expected to continue her education at the exclusive school until graduation. As a result, the Obamas plan to stay in the Washington area until their daughter is finished.
"We're going to have to stay a couple of years so Sasha can finish school,” Obama said at a restaurant while visiting Milwaukee voters in March. “Transferring someone in the middle of high school. Tough."
While Sasha works on finishing high school, her sister Malia has taken a year off from school before attending Harvard University in the fall. Reports recently revealed Malia landed a competitive internship with film producer Harvey Weinstein, which she plans to start in February.
As the two girls work on schooling and building up their resumes, their parents have slightly different plans in mind. Barack and Michelle Obama are expected to enjoy some relaxation and vacation time in Palm Springs after eight years in office.
“I want to do some writing,” the former president told reporters. “I want to be quiet a little bit and not hear myself talk so darn much. I want to spend precious time with my girls.”
The power couple also posted a YouTube video to Obama.org talking about their future plans. Following some needed time spent with family, they invited citizens to share ideas for an upcoming presidential center on the South Side of Chicago.
“It will be a living, working center for citizenship,” Obama said in the video. “That’s why we want to hear from you — tell us what you want this project to be.”
