Tuesday night, President Barack Obama addressed the nation with an emotional speech in Chicago, Illinois. The historic event, which was televised live, featured an Obama, 55, thoughtful and proud of his legacy.

But once the broadcast began and after different shots showing his wife, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their oldest daughter, Malia, in the audience, the audience began to wonder where the President's youngest daughter, Sasha Obama, was.

Immediately social networks began to rotate different theories and a hashtag was even created to discuss the topic: #whereissasha.

And while some speculated that she might be ill, the answer was much simpler: Sasha, who is a sophomore in high school at the prestigious Sidwell Friends private school in Washington DC, was absent from the event because she had an exam this Wednesday morning..

During the speech, Obama deeply thanked his wife and daughters for their support and called them his greatest pride.

Obama will officially leave his post on January 20, after two terms in the White House.

In July 2004, Barack Obama gave his first speech at the national level in the United States, during the Democratic Convention. The same year he was elected to the Senate by the state of Illinois. And the rest, as they say out there, is history.
