Her elder half-brother is the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. She has said she was named after American poet Maya Angelou. Soetoro-Ng and Obama spent several years together in Indonesia and in Hawaii before her mother decided to return to Indonesia with her.〔 After her parents divorced in 1980, her father remarried. From this marriage, Soetoro-Ng has another half-brother, Yusuf Aji Soetoro (b. 1981), and a half-sister, Rahayu Nurmaida Soetoro (b. 1984). While living in Indonesia, Soetoro-Ng was home schooled by her mother and then attended Jakarta International School from 1981 to 1984. Like Obama, Soetoro-Ng returned to Hawaii and attended the private Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii, graduating in 1988. Soetoro-Ng attended Barnard College 〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2012-05-14 )〕 in Manhattan, New York. She received an M.A. in secondary language studies and an M.A. in Secondary Education from New York University and a PhD in international comparative education from the University of Hawaii in 2006. Soetoro-Ng has often spoken warmly about her relationship with her older half-brother, which she says has remained strong even though they have often lived far apart. As adults, they have often celebrated Christmas in Hawaii, and savor the time they spend with their families together.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maya Soetoro-Ng」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
