We learned about dignity and decency – that how hard you work matters more than how much you make… that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself. – Michelle Obama
Like so many American families, our families werent asking for much. They didnt begrudge anyone elses success or care that others had much more than they did… in fact, they admired it. – Michelle Obama
We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyones contribution and treat everyone with respect. – Michelle Obama
My mothers love has always been a sustaining force for our family, and one of my greatest joys is seeing her integrity, her compassion, her intelligence reflected in my daughters. – Michelle Obama
