I am an example of what is possible when girls from the very beginning of their lives are loved and nurtured by people around them. I was surrounded by extraordinary women in my life who taught me about quiet strength and dignity. – Michelle Obama

And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values, like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond that you do what you say youre going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you dont know them and even if you dont agree with them. – Michelle Obama
