Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Michelle
Obama Signs Off as First Lady: 'I Hope I've Made You Proud'
After
eight years in front of the public eye, she became a little emotional in her
last official address in the White House. In her speech at an event to
recognize the 2017 school counselor of the year, she stressed the power of
hope, which she said had been the message that the first family believed during
the eight years her family spent in the White House. She also emphasized the
power of education to empower oneself.
She wasn’t
born rich but worked hard and managed to graduate from two most prestigious schools,
Princeton University and Harvard Law School. However, it was not easy for an
African-America girl from a working-class family to be enrolled and study in
Princeton, both ethnically and financially. In fact, both she and her husband completed
higher education mainly by taking out loans. It took them 25 years to pay off
the debts after their marriage.
She
surely knows the importance and power of education, doesn’t she?
Enjoy hearing this moving speech by First Lady.
