THE POWER OF EDUCATION- MICHELLE OBAMA

In a moderated conversation, Mrs.Obama said she knows first-hand the power of education.

“I was a girl who grew up on the south side of Chicago.
My parents didn’t have much money, but they invested in my education," Michelle Obama explained.
"And they invested in my education as equally as they did my brother, there was no different bar.
And as a result of that training and preparation I have had opportunities, and I am sitting here right now as the first lady of the United States of America because of education.”

Mrs. OBAMA SAID

Mrs. Obama said her father struggled to pay for her education.
"That’s why, day after day, I made sure I did everything in my power to make him proud," she said.
"So I got up early to study. I stayed up late doing my homework.  And despite my efforts, there were still plenty of people who doubted whether a girl from my humble background       had what it took to succeed."
