Since Obama's presidency is about to end next month, it is fitting that I write to commemorate his accomplishments and his feat. I was in the 5th grade when I saw Obama getting elected on the school TV. The excitement from my classmates and teacher was contagious. I grew up under Obama's administration, although the 8 years passed by really fast; he was the first president I had paid attention to.

Now here are some things most Millennials love about Obama (other than his bromance with Joe)

1. He never takes himself too seriously. Although he is seriously hardworking to better this nation, in many speeches, depending on the environment, he throws in a light-hearted remark or two.

2. He wants diversity, which is shown when he appointed Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic (woman) ever to serve as a Supreme Court Justice. In addition, his administration is noted as the "most diverse" in HISTORY with all minorities being represented including a transgender cabinet member.

3. Expanded embryonic stem cell research, leading to groundbreaking work in areas such as spinal injury treatment and cancer.

4. Legalization of gay marriage. The LGBT community has come a long way and under Obama's administration they finally have the legal right to marry whoever they choose. Obama also issued a memorandum extending benefits to the partners of gay and lesbian federal employees (what a nice guy honestly).

5. He's a family guy. You can tell because he's always in pictures playing with young kids. In addition, he has two daughters about my age, of course, and besides dealing with the domestic and international issues, he must also dealt with their puberty issues earlier in his presidency.

6. He signed he Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which fights wage discrimination against women.

7. Outlawed torture on prisoners. Although some prisoners may have committed malicious crimes, it is inhumane to torture their mind and body, especially when they are already being treated like trash by the broken prison system.

8. With the $78 billion tuition assistance GI bill, he supports the veterans and increase funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs.

9. "Don't boo. Vote" With that sentence, Obama reminds us that true democracy isn't where we try to conceal or mock others' voices; instead, we need to say our share.

10. Last but not least: he improved the formerly negative international perception of Americans (to some extent).

It was a good 8 years for us.
