Our First Dog - On April 14, 2009, Malia and her sister introduced their new Portuguese water dog, Bo, to the White House press corps on the South Lawn of the White House. The 6-month-old puppy, a gift from the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Massachusetts), was picked with Malia in mind as the breed is good for children like her who suffer from allergies.   (Photo: Alex Wong/Getty Images)

Her First Job - According to The Wrap, Malia worked for one day as a production assistant on the set of Extant, a CBS sci-fi thriller starring Halle Berry and produced by Steven Spielberg. A source told The Wrap that she “helped with computer shop alignments and the director also let her slate a take,” to which a delighted Malia responded, “My first time. This is a big deal.” She probably didn't get paid, but the experience was priceless.
