What do you think of Michelle Obama ?
Recently I am obsessed with Michelle Obama’s autobiography named BECOMING . She shared story how she grew up in a full of love, care and support Family, how she met Barack Obama and how they formed a family and how they run for presidency. Her father was a city worker from working class and her mother was a stay-at-home mom to take care of her and her brother. Michelle Obama always like being smart and getting A in class, never easily say give up easily for life and think about who she is and how to live a life of purpose, which is the reason why I admire her maybe. I like her putting family as her first priority to consider. I like her thinking of how to live a life of purpose and she actually made it via giving up the high-paid corporate lawyer. I like her encourage girls keep studying ,pursue higher education and you will have the control of your destiny.
