Obama was sent home to Hawaii by himself, alone on an airplane. When he saw his grandparents waiting for him at the airport he realized "I was to live with strangers."
Stanley Ann did return to Hawaii after that, but primarily to take steps with the University of Hawaii to pursue a postgraduate degree in anthropology. For three years, Obama lived with his mother and his sister in a small apartment a block away from the Punahou School, the private school Obama attended on his return to Hawaii.
When his mother was to return to Indonesia to get on with the field work that her master's degree in anthropology would require, Obama did not want to go. When Stanley Ann told Obama she wanted him to return to Indonesia with her and his half-sister, he "immediately said no." Rebelling, Obama decided to stay in Hawaii, confident he had "arrived at an unspoken pact with my grandparents: I could live with them and they'd leave me aloneso long as I kept trouble out of sight." Subtly, Obama is saying not that he would stay out of trouble, but only that he would keep hidden the trouble he seemed to be planning to find.
