Fermina Katarina Sinaga Suhanda, Obama's third-grade teacher,
remembered him distinctly because he looked different.
"He's the only black, he's the only one with curly hair," she said,
adding that he was also bigger than the other children.

She also remembered a telling essay from the Illinois senator.

"He wrote like this," Suhanta said in Bahasa, the local language,
"I am Barry Soetoro, I am in third grade [at] Fransiskus Asisi Elementary School."

He wrote about his friends, parents, Indonesia and ended the essay with,
"I want to be the president."

The president of what, the third-grader did not specify.
