But it turns out Sasha had a good excuse for missing the monumental moment. CBS News correspondent Mark Knoller tweeted that Sasha stayed back in Washington, D.C. because she had an exam at school on Wednesday morning.

Sasha Obama missed her dad's farewell address because of an exam. I need to remember this the next time that a student asks for a deferral.

Family was clearly on President Obama's mind during his speech, when he thanked his two daughters for how they've handled growing up "under the strangest of circumstances" and in the public eye.
"Of all that I've done in my life, I'm most proud to be your dad," he said.
Michelle later shared a sweet black-and-white throwback of the family on Instagram during the earlier years of the Obama presidency.
"So proud of POTUS and all that we've accomplished together," she wrote. "What an incredible journey filled with remarkable people. I love you Barack."
