Why Sasha Obama was absent during dad’s presidential farewell

Yesterday during President Obama’s farewell speech in Chicago on Tuesday night, everyone noticed his second daughter Sasha Obama was nowhere near the venue. 

Obama’s wife, Michelle, and eldest daughter, Malia, were in attendance at his address in Chicago. However, notably absent from the crowd was his 15-year-old daughter, Sasha.

After the speech ended, a White House official told reporters that the younger Obama daughter stayed

back in Washington, D.C., because she has an exam at school in the morning
